Tyranny's Horizon
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Arbitrary use of control or power

Fairy tales are great for kids

Whose minds are being moulded.

A Country where we speak our mind,

Should always be emboldened.

 

Tyrants would never allow this,

It would bring them to their knees.

If what we say and do, has no harm,

It's because we once were free.

 

But if it becomes political speech

And exposes the lies we have been fed.

If big brother threatens us for such,

Then tyranny is just ahead.

George, your analysis of the current political scene is accurate and we must remain not only vigilant but tenacious and determined to sacrifice for our freedoms. May love and peace be always with you my dear friend. Jon Michael

I love it. Someone has to tell the truth and you do. You are a brave man. The government was thought well of after the 2nd World War, because it paid its debts.

Was that a means of gaining our trust so that they could do us in?

Your poem is a watchword to the unwary. Tyranny should never be allowed to flourish. We must nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.
