S <br />Always the same with anger against us, <br />War for freedom sounds insane. <br />Torture ended <br />And began with a vengeance, <br />War and freedom became the same. <br />J <br />War and freedom is not the same girl <br />Where did you get that sill rot? <br />War is when cruel words are spoken <br />Love is when cruel words are not <br />S <br />But hate is always thrown against us, <br />With war and freedom cast the same <br />Hard to see <br />Where one war ended, <br />Clear when freedom began to wane. <br />J <br />Freedom didn’t wane my dear <br />Look around at the way we are <br />It’s a do as you like world now I fear <br />Freedom’s moved so very far <br />S <br />But freedom has lost its very nature <br />Its do as your told, not do as you like <br />We all follow <br />And the tyranny holds us, <br />Freedom to war has taken flight <br />J <br />This world has fallen victim friend <br />To the youth who have turned it rotten <br />Forget the wars and look for the cause <br />Of a generation long forgotten <br />S <br />It's not our youth, or those long past <br />Ripping freedom from it's nature, <br />It's our fault <br />And we must end it, <br />No need to have a fascist future. <br />J <br />If all the world could debate like this <br />If communication did still exist <br />Then all would have an equal stand <br />For there’s still enough love <br />In our great land <br /> <br />By Sandra Osborne and Janice M Pickett <br />From their <br />Collection of poems entitled <br />‘The Pendulum Swings’<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vexation/
