Free Means Free to Leave

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

It’s funny how so many say, “How great it is we’re free”

Tho even if attacked today, those people quickly flee

If even there’s a candidate who’s views they do not share

They say they’ll go to Canada, as though they’re welcome there

Our youth today don’t even vote, but love to piss and moan

Their cell phones and their PlayStations are all they’ve ever known

And why are we called “racists” if a wall protects us more

The terrorists and Russians have to LOVE our “open door”

THEIR kids are learning science and how best to conquer us

We’re teaching kids their gender issues somehow are a plus

If every other nation can control who enters in

Then why can’t we do likewise, tell me, when can this begin

And how will adding gun laws lead to social flawlessness

When all these wicked shooters tend to practice lawlessness

There are people now in Congress who despise the U.S.A.

These socialists within who shouldn’t EVER have a say

So listen all you people teasing you will disappear

If you don’t like this country, well then why are you still here

To those who take offense to these opinions of my own

Remember what you promised, we’ll do better here alone

    This is so great. The answer is so simple but yet people makes our problem very complex. The USA is quick to help other countries. Who will come to our aide when we will need help? There should be a extended Holidays for boarder closing to give boarder workers a break and a breather. I guess the boarder produced more jobs for sure.
