 Rainbows in Water

Freedom is Evaporating


A thought that was grasped
in hands of people in the past
Boston Bay made into Tea
telling of the angers from thee

Wars that were fought on land and sea
for the right to live and think and be
Yet we are at the beginning again
with freedom at the brink not from foe but friend

Words from the mouths of Democracy's leaders
Dictating what freedoms we have to the letter
Wear your seat belt clear your yard
its our laws it should be that hard

Now tobacco is on the block
Just like alcohol was an illegal stock
Yet they have to that to forbid is wrong
So the way of King George to tax it strong

A rise to the Heaven until the price is unseen
for those who chose to do what ever the means
A penny for your table while the rich eat free
a tax to gives the all that they see
A billion or trillion the amount does not matter
because citizen will if the pleasures are catered

A phone , a beer, and video, or a game
while education is now waining like nobody came
For a fool is so easy to sham and secure
balanced against each other against victory is assured

What is an American do you really know
is it the sound of a voice or is it the tone
Is it the way that they worship and God that they keep
or what food that they eat and where they sleep
Or is the dream where all can be free
with tolerance from other to be as we may be

Where is this enemy
that crushes what we had
Is it a power over seas
or a religion that's gone mad
Or maybe it is a a group
who think they knows whats best
To create a new feudal system
with freedom's reflection at its behest

Lawyer and Politician
the royalty we left behind
The prices of industries
growing fat from our decline
And here we sit all thankful
for the best place is here
Lets go on watching TV
and swigging down warm beer.

W/By Guy Dan Schuyler

( I have made One edit, and have to think some more before I do more, hope this helped this poem.)
