Oh Land of the Free,
where is your freedom?
For the men
mining your glittering engagement rings
For the women
stripped bare, forced to put on a show for your darkened computer screens
For the children
whose torn fingers, beaten backs and sleepless eyes
harvest your bloody coffee at the expense of their lives
For the innocents,
brutally torn in the name of convenience
before they are born
Sweet Home of the Brave,
where are your brave ones?
Willing to expose corruption
Willing to fight oppression
Willing to rescue your slave sons
and restore your damaged daughters
Willing to battle for the unborn
Willing to say to injustice,
"NO MORE."
HERE are your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Oh America,
WHEN
will you truly believe in Liberty?
WoW, Marea. You capture the essence of freedom in this piece. I love it. I love YOU!
ReplyDeleteEvery time you make people think about the reality of greed and endless consumption, you give your reader a chance to change for the better. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMarea, that is profoundly awesome. I love that this will live on and be counted in heaven every time someone reads it and the seed is planted for Holy Spirit change. Thank you for sharing the gifts of God in you! (WeldSparks.wordpress)
