Freedom Isn't Free

Published Shutterfly 5/10/2019

Freedom Isn't Free

Constitution and Statue of Liberty,
The land that I love and the flag of the free!
Serve the God of the land and prosper; you will,
But the wicked and foolish shall be swept off the hill.

We see again as history repeats,
The wolves descend on the prosperous sheep.
Many fears override wisdom and fact,
The hounds once again are on the attack!
Take away their freedoms is their battle cry!
Show appeasement; never should one have to die!

So why was the Savior; the God of the land,
Willing to love; to die and take a stand?
He loves the sheep and freedom isn't free,
His atonement; with choice; releases you and me!

He set up a nation; and a place of refuge,
Documents and symbols; implications huge!
Constitution and Statue of Liberty,
The land that I love and the flag of the free!

This poem is not protesting anyone whom believes in peace! I believe in peace! I also believe in choosing the right! A war started in heaven and if you believe that the war for the souls of men and women didn't continue here on earth, I invite you to read and study the Bible. If you choose to ignore it or don't believe it ,the Lord still loves you! We fight not against men, but against principalities, powers and dominions! We must defend families and nations from tyranny! I wrote this poem because I love my country and believe it is losing it's soul! thus the poem. This poem is directed at those that are trying to destroy our, I believe divinely inspired, Constitution! There is corruption within our government that would undermine our defense! Thank you for allowing me to express my concern!.............Jim

According to sources Obama and Biden have The Greatest Bromance in the World...

​​​​​​If America goes to Hell in a hand basket will God still Bless America?

Hello Jim...

You'd heard the stories of people who've died and come back?

Some have gone to Heaven and some have gone to Hell...

I know someone who died and did come back...

The person said the Devil kicked them out because, they were selling I've Cream...

The person woke up in the Morgue...

It's changed this person's life and no different than others lives have been changed...

Not everyone is fortunate enough to come back but, those that are can teach us so much...

Thank you again...

I like your poetry style your a fantastic writer, all of your poems that I have read are very good, I like this best so far, I haven't got to the rest yet, but I will I love reading other poets work ,  there is so many good masterpeices out there to read. its one of my favorite past times, enjoying poetry that others share . Thank you for sharing your gift, you are very talented. and I also write just because I like too, not to compete with anyone, I do it for fun or to relieve stress.
But I like reading it more sometimes , especially from other poets, they write about everything, some crazy stuff sometimes, every poem is a journey, its really fun too read them, but your a very good writer  you should write a book.
your poems are a journey too and they are fun to read.

Thank you

Wow ! Songstar, That means a lot coming from someone more well read than me! I just got started in reading and writing by force of health issues, but I am beginning to love reading as well. I did write a couple of books ( refer to my bio) however they are a little expensive to self publish. I am so glad that you have enjoyed my poems, The competition for me is just a little motivation, but I am on here as this is the best way for my poems and ideas to be given exposure. I now have met some wonderful people here and plan to continue. your poet friend...........Jim

Liberty for all in a perfect world, pity the world systems are flawed.

No such thing as perfect in a mortal world, But the US republic, with it's Constitution is about the best! However corruption has flowed in because of apathy and immoral people. The system is breaking down because of repeated historical facts of nations turning their back on their creator! Thank you so much for reading it and your comment!.......Jim
