[hometext] => i wrote this when the war in Irac was on the higest level....
[bodytext] => With boldness they turn on their own Their own political freedom´s now gone Our own freedom has been used against us As a silent majority swells from within We can sing of love, but not of question Corporations own us all... and what we need Watching for years we cried for independence Now we watch in vanish in our own greed But life continues in the watercolour rain Washing out all the details Slowly and methodically Blending them back into the background og grays And in our silence we agree To let them strip us blind because "we are free" Others slowly turn their heads To those... that thought they could see A single man screams freedom A crowd turns to see yet no loud sounds are heard, Just the silence of turning heads of sheep As the police drag him away We vote the lessor of two evils To save ourselves some face A representation of us for the world to see Someone who can make them belive freedom is still embraced Is this who we are? ... Is this who we became?? Political asylum lost in Corporate gains Slowly our baths get warmer As all is lost in watercolour rain [comments] => 1 [counter] => 281 [topic] => 39 [informant] => kolbrun [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
