WE THE PEOPLE…
We the people
are aware we're not free
but we muddle along
pretending we don't see
Though there's no Monarch
destined to rule
they still seem to treat us
like children at school
Stealing our liberty
at the drop of a dime
enforcing unfair laws
just to keep us in line
Use it as a tool
to bend our very will
dangle it about
from high up on the hill
Accepting the facade
believing in the lie
marching off to war
even if we don't comply
Speaking for the truth
no longer rules the day
hijacking all the news
just to get their way
We came to this New World
to form a perfect Union
governed by its people
and not just some illusion
Freedoms not a fantasy
a distant far off dream
that lives within the ether
hoping to be seen
It inhabits all our souls
lives inside our heart
waiting for its reign
or at least a chance to start
That sovereignty we chased
the dream of being free
has never really changed
we all just want to be.
We The People…

All for one and one for all!
Rise up!
Wake up and rise!!
Eyes to us all,
As one we grow!
Namaste :)
This is true. We might be called free nations, independent countries but we all are still bounded and restricted. Liked it. Keep up the good work. Only writers like you and me can open people's eyes. The power of pen can't be underestimated. I too write to make people see the reality and not live in illusions. I recently wrote this poem about the reality of human existence. A person like you who can see through the things would surely like it. It is titled as WHO ARE YOU.
Thanks for the comment... I'll definitely check it out!
I like this sentence "at least a chance to start"
Somehow, we need to take a chance to start a new way and well done, your poem looks very good

Very nice. Very well thought out. It's a bitter sweet poem. :)
C'est la vie -- I guess...
Sadly, this is true for a lot of countries. Those who are in power make use of whatever means to stay in power.
No doubt about it!
I write poetry too. Do check it out when you are free.
