Long before Dr. King other men had a dream, but that illusion, dreams, hopes, were converted in a growing nightmare as a few men "pursued" the American dream at the cost of many hundred of thousand of dead soldiers, destitute mothers, homeless children, abandoned elderly and an entire nation's welfare to fill the pockets of the corrupts.
We had the enemy within, long before terrorist thought of doing us harm.
So, think, why they hate us so much? who sucked their blood too?
Swords, cannon balls and a Tea Party was
1776, freedom from the Crown was blasphemy,
but the forefather knew better to accept darkness
when light was the one that would bring liberty,
and they said to themselves, “until the last man”
we will confront fate and bear proud our destiny.
The fresh ink isn’t dry yet on the receipt paper
thirty silver coins was paid for your liberty,
as homeless everywhere with hunger cries,
politicians are selling now homemade democracy
to a crowd of lambs following the pack of wolves
and no one wearing the reason shoes on their feet.
There was that first flag sewn by Betsy Ross,
the Old Glory holding a stars circle of thirteen,
and thirteen too was the red and white stripes
marking the end of submission of Britain’s colony,
no matter how many soldiers anybody will send…
because you can’t oppress any man that feels free!
Years has passed, of them, two hundred twenty four,
since that tea cup wasn’t drunk by Boston citizenry,
so many years after…and our people cannot afford
bread, a soldier’s wheel chair or the price of peace,
the rich are getting richer as the soldiers keep dying,
the only ones waving that Old Glory? Is the wealthy.
On the next election there will be again no candidates
just a menagerie of corrupted executioners to worry,
because, how many lives a nation have before it dies?
we have seen them trying for so long that I am sorry
didn’t tell anybody that our enemies was already here,
America didn’t have a chance with “new democracy”
The rich keeps getting richer,
the children of the poor keep dying
in lonely fronts in countries
they never heard of
nor probably could pronounce it's names.
as the children of the rich ignore their Gods given rights
staying home practicing what their parents taught them
stay busy here with their hands
in the pockets of those left behind.......
The politician like all good American CEOs
took over this country and are selling it out
one piece at a time as if it were
A corporation in financial bankruptcy.........
Peace also will soon be hard to find
Peace be with you Brother
Yes, alot of truth in this. The sad part is that this has always gone on, and sadly, probably will, because the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and when there is an imbalance of power, that power will corrupt and rule absolutely, never a good thing. It just seems that no one is listening to us, the small people, anymore.
Such power in your pen! I feel your blood burning and delivering this poem/speech. You mean what you say, and as a former vet you know what you say!
Much peace, love, and light,

The truth hurts,and goes deep enough to keep hurting,brother Edvard!

Georg you speak your mind and I fear the mind of not only many other Americans but also the thoughts of many of America's sworn friends and allies. For sadly it is all too true that what happens in the US of A usually affects what happens worldwide. Great write my friend.

The moment of truth is not very far off. Question is, how much will we put up with until we finally say enough is enough. So far, we've put up with everything. But more people are becoming aware. When taxes go to 80% and domestic spending goes to zero while we continue to fund the war operation, maybe people will get it.
how many lives a nation have before it dies?
... the answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind...
you and Robert Allen Zimmerman have obviously taken tea together somewhere along the line... or, rather, frontier! You seem to know what you're talkin about here, Georg. Freedom is an attitude of mind that all too often exists only behind physical restraint and (gold) bars. I greatly admire your depth of understanding and shrewd grasp of how things are. xx
Such a light it was to all oppressed people everywhere, but the kings, and kingmakers, are always lurking to usurp, so to fill their own power and pockets. You have a temperament in the States as that of the French, I would not doubt the day will come, when some smart inventive engineer will build a new Guiluotine, mass produced like the Chrystlers jeep just a while back, but then there too, as you can see, despite liberty, fraternity, etc,,,they too are almost back to square one. still the idea your nation was founded on is valid, and good, but the people have to get off their asses and get involved as they once did, not depend on some hoodlum politician to run the show. Look what is happening in Iran, the brave people wanting to emulate you, are being shot by their own soldiers, and guess what no medals for them right. You are absolutely right we have been fighting the wrong wars for some time.
Your eloquent write, should touch every true Americans heart Georg.

Most Americans still refuse to believe that, and I doubt they will ever truly open their eyes.
