Broken Liberty


What an interesting time to live in

Where what’s right is deemed wrong

Where freedom of decision is now disregarded and we are subjugated into having a forced position

Where you are “innocent until proven guilty” yet already seen as guilty without anything proven

Where we have so many “In God We Trust”s but so little trust in God

Where the saying “the land of opportunity” has drifted because “survival of the fittest” is only suited to the richest

Where explicit music has become popularized and there is a sudden rise in “viewer discretion is advised”s

Where social media is something we prioritize and breathe in its carbon monoxide to our own demise

It has come to a point where the truth is rejected and a lie is accepted

Will you become another one out of the 6 billion to reject this?
