Words Loaded Like Weapons


Words Loaded Like Weapons

 

 

Freedom is not found

Freedom from the binds

of one cast aside

whether god or government

quickly replaced by the other

 

Government for your life here

God for your life before and after

Heaven awaits

with Him in even closer proximity

Heaven is not freedom

but another kind of Hell

 

Freedom from government

a state of mind

and not a plausible reality

That is what you want

That is what you shall have

 

Freedom just a loaded word?

Loaded like the weapon

issued to your children

on the false pretense

of it’s defense
