Said A Prisoner In Reply

4.20.2019

 

To those standing on the other side

While grabbing the bars of the cell

In desperation

They shook and cried

 

Come help us

Save us

Get us outta here alive

 

We’re entitled to more

But they expect us to earn our lives

 

Forget your problems

Stop your crying

So you can hear our cries

 

And get us outta here

 

Speaking for those on the other side

Amidst true suffering

In total disbelief

Said a prisoner in reply

 

What is wrong with you

Are you really so dumb and blind

It’s true

Cell bars are in front of you

But you are standing on the outside

 

You can’t possibly mean

Inside of this cell

Is where you wanna be

 

Are you standing so close

To the socialist forest

That you can’t see its soldiering trees

Have you lost sight

Of what freedom means

What it means to be truly living free

 

Wake up

Can’t you see how you are wrong

Wake up America

Because down the path you are going

You’ll end up in this cell with us

History has likened it to hell

If you are dumb enough

To ask for it

It may be just as well

 

Be careful

America

Sometimes you get what you ask for

 

First you fought for your freedom

Now you are fighting to lose it

Have you lost your mind

And now you take it for granted

Have you all gone blind

And so can no longer see 

The bird in the hand’s

A Bald Eagle

The two in the bush

Are vultures

The price of freedom

The difference between

Democracy

And socialist cultures

The Bald Eagle represents 

The value of being free

If you don’t want it

Then give it to me

I will love it

Like my own child

But the government will take it

Abort it

Freedom is not in socialist style

A true prisoner

In reply

 

So to America

I ask

Why
