Poem: The Iceman Cometh!!!
Dear Editor,
While camouflaging the cloak and the dagger, walking thru town with lots of swagger.
This country is no longer the land of the free, Just look around it is plane to see.
Icemen in Black wearing thick masks, telling us who we can be, what we can say, who we can see.
Without even a trace of dignity, spreading chaos and fear with no remorse or trust.
Then denying any responsibility, for the home of the brave and land of the free.
Pushing past safe to very tense, then claiming it was self defense.
Yes the Icemen in Black wearing thick masks camouflaging the cloak and dagger, walking thru town with lots of swagger.
When Ice Men come with Cold Hearts..... Democracy Falls and that's how it starts .....
Camouflaging Hate and Anger.
Walking thru town with lots of swagger.
