Fallen Freedom

Silent Surrender...

Fallen Freedom

So this is how it begins... The fall of freedom.

The end of the freedom we fought years to have.

Hatred has established roots in the highest bases.

As the mindless faces of millions celebrate that which they lack to understand.

It allows them to be cruel. It justifies their villainy.

It embraces their desire to hate.

Millions cheer as freedoms fall one right after another.

They welcome this as the villain uses promises of money and more hate.

The vile words of hate and lies to distract from the reality of his deception.

In forced silence the pen surrenders.

The surrender welcomed by millions in praise and cheer.

The celebration of the demise of freedom for all...

Encouraged by millions who do not want to see the truth.

They blindly surrender everything.

This is the harsh reality we are existing in.

This is how freedom truly falls...

Not in battle but in silent.

A welcome surrender by the masses.

The masses too blind to see what is so clear.

As they applaud the death of freedom... because they think it will only affect those others....

Not them.

Not us all.
