SO FREE, WE�RE BOUND

We�re so free that we let political jargon sway us in who we should trust.
We�re so free that we give over our wells (and children) to men and organization that say they believe in GOD, when what�s done in the dark always comes to the light.
We�re so free that giving money to a charity somehow absolves us from serving our fellow man.
We�re so free that Life is death and death is Life �
We�re so free that the greatest sacrifice is rewarded with distain.
We�re so free we believe the lie against what we see with our own eyes �
We�re so free that guilt is based solely on the amount of money in your bank account.
We�re so free that longevity is a curse
We�re so free that the very idea of peace is seen as weak
We�re so free that my body no longer belongs to me
We�re so free that hate is tolerated while love is refuted
We�re so free that right is wrong and wrong is right.
We�re so free in this country of liberty that we�re bound.

Dear Glynis, Liked your comments on life in the USA today. So right on ... I like the quote made by Jeanie Manning, "It is difficult for people to thrive in a world in which decisions are influenced by profits instead of prophets."

So true, Bruce! Thanks for the read and comment. We as a people, if we want to advance spiriturally, must make our chooses in life not based on greed.
