Alma Domus

Poetry...the primary inevitable response to tyranny - Daniel Berrigan Clear water running in the spring creek, flows from every newborn's heart. Around the bend coruption pollutes our thoughts with consumerism, paths of mutual destruction and madness modeled on the nightly news. Still, the pure well in our hearts runs deep, frustrating the robber-barons of our souls. Food we eat, politics we endorse, come under increased scrutiny as truth refreshes. Pinnacles of power topple as their pawns resist in ever increasing numbers. Manufactured enemies (self-sourced) created to control history by providing security from fear are now seen in the light of day as what they truly are, enslavement. Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand people are waking up to to their inalienable rights to freedom and liberty for all. The time is now to stay vigilant, neo-cons increasingly will create rolling disasters, meant to ignite fear only they (by our abjudication of freedom and liberty) can resolve. Never waver, never relent, peacefully resist. 04/04/15 4 am © All Rights Reserved

I've reread your poem many times and I am going to go out on a limb and say peaceful resisting is not working. I am preparing for a revolution.

Dear Jim, You need only look back to the McCarthy hearings to see how much scrutiny is placed on political views. We do have a right to freedom and it takes courage to remain vigilant and hold fast to that which we see as truth. Awesome work! Love, Carolyn

James, we are born then corrupted. We can't hide from the madness. This is a powerful poem. I read a poem from Peter Durgan, almost on the same topic... Almost... Thank you for stating your thoughts... Linda

This is a wise message to heed. Inch by inch freedom is being relinquished under the guise of protection. In the end what will be left worth protecting????
