Very nice. Thank you for sharing with us. I like it all, but the "lock and load your mind" really resonated. It is indeed a war for our minds and we need to treat it like every other weapon and keep it clean and serviced. Strip it down and have it battle ready, not sitting idle lying in a safe collecting dust and passively absorbing information.
I cannot believe I just discovered this. How poignant. I wish I had had this to read aloud for one of my many Night Court appearances. I finally just quoted Patrick Henry while wearing my Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights t-shirt, gripping my Barbie pink binder a la Legally Blonde even though my hair is red 😂 This poem would have been infinitely better. I am printing this out, naturally. Well done,sir.
I’m not in a hurry to be facing a firing squad... However, surviving the day and have the other sob to hang for crimes against humanity might be the path to securing a lasting peace. Course none of this rhymes as there are no prose for cowards;)
Thanks for that.
i'm not much of a poet.
Nowhere near like you
But I believe in freedom
So I wrote this verse for you.
I like that a lot, Lupa - thank you! <3
Nicely done!
Thank you kindly, good sir!

That YOU, for the gracious comment. And I agree, if we are not keeping the mind primed and ready we will fail every time.
