SING A SONG OF FREEDOM

https://www.pbs.org/video/sing-democracy-250-rob7ge

Freedom is our right.

Voting shows our might.

Sing a song of freedom.

Sing it strong.

Sing it long.

Voters sing along with me.

Lift the voice of liberty.

The few who would silence us

will rock and roll before they fall

in silent loss and agony.

Despots and bullies cannot withstand

the voices of power and the sound

of voting levers in musical chorus

ringing across the future before us.

Freedom lovers hold your ground

against kings and tyrants, 

who despite their might,

cannot dance to freedom’s sound.

Vote with music and dance at the polls.

Let freedom ring as despots fall

before the song of freedom loud and clear.

Freedom lovers hold America dear,

and lift her in song written in blood and tears

for these past 250 years.

Sing a song of freedom.

Sing it strong!

Sing it long!

NOT A LOOKING GLASS, NOR WINDOW

I see you looking through the glass

aghast.

As Alice in Wonderland you fear

falling down rabbit holes.

We all do.

You think the glass is a window.

It is a door.

You seem not to know

it can open for you.

A small push against the lash

can open the way

to a world where anything

is possible.

Everything is now in play.

The old ways are falling away

pushed aside by fearful elements

with false ego and too much pride.

They lie to create a place to hide.

No door is too strong to block you.

You are an American voter.

Your vote holds sway.

Yes, I see the barricades

being put in place, more every day.

Your strength, dear voter, 

comes in numbers so strong

they cannot hold the door closed too long.

Once through the door

we clean the debris away.

Americans living in the light of truth;

we light our own way.

American voters will have their say.

I AM CLEAR NOW

I no longer awaken thinking I had died during the night. 

No more heavy weight in my chest dragging breath down.

No more lead-bottomed stomach trying to turn fear over.

No more panic tightening limbs positioned to run.

No more thinking  thoughts unable to connect.

I am clear now.

Righteous anger replaces my new-found ability to hate.

Courage courses through veins relieved of pain.

Love for others suffering alongside me on common ground abounds.

A coalition of resistance finds strengthened legs and spine.

Brains calm and stay alert and plan how to go up and not down.

I am clear now.

I see the game to disarm and disarray all opposition.

I see the realization victory by evil forces always subsides.

I see the ability of good hearts to speed the failure along.

I see creativity lead ideas ahead, instead of repeating past retreats.

I am clear now.

Here.

Now.

Let me show you.

Together.

 We can move mountains

of greed and fear and doubt.

I am clear now.
