the dust of one's freedoms will one day

not fail to completely settle

so in preparation for that day

we each in our own turn

should purposefully prepare ourselves

for the worst

and select our friends and goals in life

most carefully

so that into another's ignorance and or

maddened misinformation

we do not even if unknowingly meddle

it has become a 'Big Man Trips Little Man'

problem in epidemic proportions

as the government grows much too fat in our

supposedly free society

and sits much too comfortably higher and

higher up still

on a gold imposing barbed wire bench that

becomes more and more legibly marked

'The Wrong Chair'

most citizens of the superficial breed never

stumble upon the opportunity to learn this for

themselves

so I feel at such point it is a fellow citizen's

place to make all the 'We The People' of this

steady alarming trend fully aware

as a fair warned man is a well armed man

where Big Brother was once only a lowly hall

monitor worriedly watching over us

now, he's Rambo taking troops of forceful

action over nearly every small infraction that

he sees

until it will come to the point that before we

as a unified nation even fully realize it

we'll have become indentured to none other than

Big Brother himself

even the most insignificantly small citizen will

be brought to his painfully weakened knees

and forced like well reared charges of the state

to blindly obey Big Brother's every last

insufferable wish

or with the flow of his very life's blood he will

have to pay

and pay..........

until like a rare collection of forgetful fools

we will know no other way

and our beloved democracy shall quietly get

shoved into the tall vague shadows of a far distant

past

and the only time such idea is viewed is when

ancient civilization history books are mysteriously

unearthed in a remote forgotten cave on the

outskirts of an unheard of small town near an

old abandoned military installation a few centuries

ago called strangely enough

Area 51 deep in the desert of all places

then all rebellious hell shall break loose once

again

reminiscent of our for Fathers' the colonialist's

reign

and an old dictatorship America shall emerge from

the ashes

a young again fledgling democratic America

and sweet freedom again shall ring

soundly in the ears of her every last citizen

and the children of the yet to even be born

shall never take their freedom for granted

anymore.................................
