Are we truly, genuinely free


Poll this way.
Poll that way.
Poll another way.
What then, the toll on them?

Who decide not to go along
with those who are
to toll the bells for war?

And of those who oppose
where then, are they to go?
Safe, secure without harm.

Are we truly, genuinely free?
Or just do toll democracy –
hypocritically?

Take care
that poll may toll on you.
No more secure
but bugged and tagged.
No freedom
but N.S.A. on your tail.

What sort of liberty?
Ask again
who tolls what, on your behalf?
Is it good or bad?
Does it include nuclear war?
Or peace and harmony, equality –
value for humanity?
