When anyone comments,
"Freedom is not free."
Does one mean we need to bribe the Creator so he may set us free?
When anyone comments,
"It is never the Activity of rascals that destroys a society, but always the inactivity of the Good people."
Is it not a serious aspersion that good people are inactive?
Should we not take such a pundit as a rascal hell bent to destroy society?
I enjoyed this piece because it was thought provoking. I don't like poems that only stimulate my eyes and not my brain as well. Your a very intelligent young woman and I am blessed to read your work.
No one can be truely free as there will always be limits, but freedom within the accepted limits of the norm can not be bought with bribery, or negotiations, or political wishing. The currency is the blood of patriots.
Another point to ponder in relation to today's environment, "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem." In the war on terror, if you sit on the fence and try to ignore it, it will be like the tsunami, the wave will get you on the way in or the backwash will get you on the way out.
Peace my friend.
