This poem was written in 1939 but it could not be more relevant to today's world, especially during this pandemic. THIS is how the Elite want us to behave.

This video gives me the chills. So many of us are unknown citizens. Too afraid to go against the status quo, to think for themselves, to be dangerous instead of obedient, to stand up for ourselves and humanity. Especially now, since c0v1d, the ones who blindly follow are treated as heroes. The ones who stand up for liberty are painted as lunatics.

Oh gosh this made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck !

[Oldcrow]

A life achievement to have written that poem.

[TheKJreality]

The colour grading is sick ! And the story ... Really good job...

Im a man, going My Own Way. Whatever I'm capable of, in going that way, for however long I'm able to.

This poem spells out why. And it's as relevant today as when it was first written.

I don't wish to be a slave. I'm trying not to be.

Time to quit saying "What If?"

We don’t get to choose the word we live in!

You are reading me write on here, but I am not here anymore. You are reading what went through my head in your moment as I'm already in your pasts moments, already writing about your future that is now since I already wrote mine before you read this. Was I truly here? No, but I'm everywere and you'll never catch my in my emotions because you didn't write yourselves.

This wonderful poem is spoiled by the last shot. Wearing a mask is not a sign of conformity - it is proof of concern for the health and the lives of oneself and others!
