Who Are We The People

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Tis not Free Speech that defends America from censorship?

Monday, January 2, 2017

 Who Are We The People

 

Who are We the People,

Cowering within our words,

To fear those who would

Imprison our free minds,

Inside a closed jar of fear.

 

Does any American panic,

Upon fangs of vile retribution

That strikes with a vengeance

To silence the will of America

That must surrender Freedom.

 

Tis naught the eagle talons sharp,

To pierce lies then reveal Truth.

Tis not, it was, our forefathers fight

To create strength in these United States

Reasons to stand up and Be Counted Proud.

 

Tis it not treason to be made US weak links

That we must join together, merged as neighbors

To fight all types of tyranny that we face together,

For divided, America will be asked to surrender,

But together - we triumph united in Democracy.

 

We are not a nation of one man autocratic rule,

But this union of patriotic men and women.

Who say NUTS to those who will rule US.

That this nation is a composite makeup

From the poor to Billionaire Aristocrats.

 

To take away a vote because of poverty,
Being homeless or having no viable address,

Or upon the color, religion, gender or creed

Is to segregate America, by who towers with power.

That trump thumps using billionaire subjugator lashes.

 

So easy it is for world leaders to select their President

That one man is incorporated in “We the Corporations.”

But we were founded, upon a human right, Constitution.

That America broke the yoke of West India Conglomeration,

Where Americans then toiled to land of our Fore Fathers.

 

We are being manipulated into power less small groups.

Where the Free Press, the Free Speech and Civil Liberties

Shrink as subservient lambs being led astray by power mongrels

From within One, who has all the answers as a flimflam American.

Who never gives direct answers, but plays the shell con game.

 

We have all met that person, who could sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

Able to leap over a New York Tower, being a Super Stud Republican.

Why, he is this perfect imperfect example of know it all ingenuity.

Since you seldom get a direct answer he leaves this smiling arrogance

That HE alone is the solution of America in hacking Russian influence.

 

Time to go for Clinton’s, Obama’s and time for McCain to stand up.

That an alliance of Republican Progressives merge to defend America.

While Moderate and Independents form a Civilian political party.

That one trump Republican cannot match God Bless America patriots.

The equation for this nation is a popular 100% equation of representation.

 

Yes, they will squash journalists, writers, artists, thinkers, and poets

By imprisoning them without trials under some Martial Law mandate.

That America will feel like Indians on a Reservation being interned silent.

That the RAS-Putin’s Iron Will, will spread like wildfire of Global Warming

Going back to the 1930’s, where Robbing Hood Barons were American Kings.

 

Note: This is to open your own mind to your own words Declaration of Independence. When poets minds are imprisoned, tyranny is on hand.

I'm with you on the matter and not Jerry. The facts are clear and they are scientific. As far as the man, Trump emotes very bad vibrations with his speech, his mannerisms and his failure to divulge anything of any value (his tax returns) to make his resume sound other than his very loud and large platform of multimedia from twitter to show business.

Why citizens of this country that are supposedly free and freethinkers would honor such blowhard behavior always leads me back to PT Barnum and the American way of always being the sucker when it comes to scams.

We are in for a rough ride for four years until we can restore sanity again.

You see it is not just about Trump but the whole system. And poets can be imprisoned upon invisible walls, where they shrivel their words to conform to a new President. There are problems on both sides of the fence, politicians who have forgotten we are a civilian nation.

I remember millions, who said Obama was not American, that he was a Muslim, and some said he was a monkey that they where very vocal in their opinion. That had Clinton won you would have blown a gasket and shown it with words. I am not a Clinton fan, but I do believe in a Popular vote, no matter what side.

Thank you for your Free Speech patriotism and your right to stand upon your own words, it is important that all sides are heard and never censored. That with interaction we merge united in these states called America.

I completely fail to see where "poets minds are imprisoned" by Trump's presidency. Yours certainly isn't, neither is mine. You, like millions of others just like to start trouble. The election is over. He won. Seems like I heard Obama saying the same thing shortly after he was sworn into the presidency of the United states.
