Autocracy and tyrannical power thrive in secrecy.
If those in power chose to draft up their own version of what rights individuals should have while sheltered and closeted in their own robes given by the people, then we the people individually and collectively have the right to defend our bodies and our liberties by throwing open the doors and windows in that sealed room where our rights are decided and let the light of day in.
Whistle blowers or horn tooters can sing out truth without fear of reprimand. Free speech isn’t just about what we can speak but also to be a voice for truth
about what is done by those who represent us, . Those who attempt to alter liberties of all and never to be challenged while changing the lives of the entire citizenry need to be removed from the office and position that we afforded them at what ever level of governance.-Mary L Hofer
Autocracy Thrives In Secrecy
Is principled idealism in governance
for the greater good now dead
Or is it again historically replaced
by autocratic manifest destiny instead
I know it still lives and breathes in me
The long walk towards equity and equality
With our better angels singing
Out humane purpose collectively
Acting on accord legislatively
The stewards of our democracy
Should work for each individual liberty
Not a high brow fight
juxtapositioning right for might
Is hate mongering for political power
a good manipulative tool again
Taking back everything judiciously right
For and by the people with constitutional pen
Undoing all with no legislative protocol
Leaving voters unable to demand a recall
When those elected undermine our constituent majority
Teamed up to only work
As a one party legislative authority
never to vote for all Americans with integrity
Instead dark money and the power hiding behind
Will unleash any untruth,misalign and redefine
their solemn oath sworn to govern justly for all
We need to heed what is done or not done in our name
When our views are used as propaganda to defame
Those not of their despotic and chronic kind
only using red tape to bind and blind the mind
We must end their game of us vrs us
and not be used, embittered or confused
By the constant bombardment of political preferences
And overturn this overworked use of conspiracy
By voting together as e pluribus unum
in all our diversity and differences
regaining truth and trust
Thereby defending and renewing our democracy-MLH
Happy Introspective Independence Day
