This Society
By Steven Ericsson-Zenith
In this society
We trade income for liberty
Media for history
Spin for truth
Democracy
For "the vote"
A fair hearing
For the right of dissent
Liberty
For the tyranny of majority
Individuality
For the tyranny of the few
Constraint and coercion
For property notions
Prior claim
The basis of unmerited privilege and class
.
Ahh! A kindred spirit!
Well said . . . if only more would listen and even a few would try to understand.

Another great poem. I feel much the same way "trapped" in the United States.
