Heads Are Rolling
I'm taken back to days of old
when people were publicly beheaded
or burned alive
for being a heretic
& fear was instilled
into the hearts of the masses
as it is on this day
if freedom in what you believe in is not tolerated
then what we have left
is a Hitler regime
where you dare not stand apart
the heads are rolling
& tossed into the ocean
bobbing about in the reef
there's in blood in the water
the sharks are getting fat
I feel ill at ease
careful to watch my step
lest my head be the next on a stake
outside the castle gates

So succinctly put, Brenda. I feel the same but I won't give up the fight. If our country is evolving into Nazi Germany, then I have become a Jew sympathizer and will risk my life to protect one.
I dropped someone off I care about deeply at the airport this morning as part of a delegation heading to Standing Rock. Then I thought about your son. I don't know how far this will go...but I do know it won't last forever, and the light will rise again.

it may seem its about the country but its basically about strength and enduring times of oppression and suppression which i totally can appreciate this poem Brenda especially now more than ever.

I believe the problem lies in the non-visibility of the complete picture. Yes you're spot on Rina re times of oppression.

Great write Brenda! Czar Trump will go down in history as the most hateful man in American history. I've been predicting a second civil war for years because of the rising level of prejudice and hate all over the country and now that the guy in the Whitehouse is hand-in-hand in hatred with the Republikills in Congress, war is inevitable.
I'm a crippled old progressive, bleeding-heart liberal peacenik, but I'll be honored to go to battle against a government of bigotry! No justice, NO PEACE!

Unity is the key my friend... oppression intended to divide has historically, invaraibly resulted in uniting of mankind. Tough times indeed don't last, tough people indeed do! Just reminding! gem of a write, a bold bold write! good on ya!

Well spoken, Crim, that ill at ease feeling
seems to be a common theme these days.
And so it begins...

Brenda.. so powerful, and relevant.. especially in these trying times.. i think the true strength in this write, is it has double meaning.. that of the individual, as well as the world.. brilliantly done, as only you can do.. love you!!
