HISTORY IS NOW

Why are they gong to remove his statue? Not much common sense in that!

A great awareness write, Sparrowsong.  I confess, I had never, ever heard of Thomas Paine before I read your poem. His quotes are true for sure ( from the ones I have read).  Thankyou for sharing x

We are all expected ( from birth ) to follow a narrative...wherever we live in the world, whatever our designated station in life. The narrative is designed by the powers that be ( and don't underestimate them) to keep the minions in line and too busy to think about challenging the system, thereby maintaining the money making machine which few of us benefit from. They don't want truth or people who think outside the box... Really really good write Sparrowsong x
