A Poetic Tribute

This is dedicated to a fellow freedom fighter who has helped me realize my virtual pen can be mightier than the sword. We're both committed to getting our freedom back!



For Amanda BillyRock like many, it started with Ron Paul
What followed was a healthy dose of good old shock and awe

Our country is not what we thought, we feel a little betrayed
Or perhaps a little sheepish because for years we’ve all been played

Austrian economics is clearly the way to go, people get what they deserve
If she had her one great fondest wish, we’d end the Federal Reserve

As for ending government agencies, she says “Don’t throw a fit”
“If you want to see the end of them, just unleash the free market.”

She travels through airports like a thief in the night, avoiding airport scanners
And videotapes TSA employees to ensure they mind their manners

If she had a favorite candy it would probably be a Reese’s
But nothing satisfies her cravings like studying Ludwig von Mises

She dyed her hair blonde and she took a lot of slack
It appears her fans agree with this, they prefer the color black

She’s heading a knowledge revolution, one that all are welcome to join
Any membership fee would be minimal, payable via Bitcoin

Her message is of liberty, freedom, and heck - to carry your own gun
And this is her motto: “Getting free was never so much fun!”


Can Somebody Cry For Me?

I've had this image in my mind for days. I keep seeing this sweet little Iraqi girl sailing into heaven after being killed. This is what she is saying to me, and I don't know how to answer her.

I sail away into the sky
As I stare down below
My home destroyed and family dead
Now to heaven I go

But none will talk of how I died
No cameras are at the scene
No weeping eyes or mourning hearts
Why don’t they cry for me?


Because I'm in a far away land?
My skin is different, I guess
Is that why no one thinks of me
Does this make me any less?

Today I died – a stray bullet they said
My body resting by a tree
I’m just as precious, just as sweet
Why does no one cry for me?


-with liberty and justice for all?

God Bless the Selfless Soldier

God Bless the selfless soldiers who offer their life for me
But cursed be our country’s leaders who “spread democracy

Please comfort families back at home that worry every night
And judgment be upon evil men who pretend we need to fight

Keep safe our sons and daughters who patrol fields of poppyoil, and grain
Believed to be protecting our freedom, they're guarding evil men’s gains

Support our troops and bring them home to their loved ones they adore
Stop saying we are bringing peace through useless, dirty wars

Restore the love of family, let the soldiers remove bloody stains
If citizens knew what true motives were, our leaders would cower in shame

The “land of the free, and the home of the brave”, phrases once held in esteem
America needs to awake to the fact we are now a new regime

If we truly loved our freedom we would defend it here at home
Not impose our will on others through killing at night with drones

God, restore to us your favor, remove our desires for power and gold
Turn the hearts of this nation to the principles the Constitution holds

Bring our soldiers back from war; let them feel our loving embrace
Or this fake “War on Terror” will never end, and we’ll never be truly safe
