Even in the best of times Not much goes unnoticed Except perhaps what will come Reminds us where we’re rooted As children we all will grow No attempt to the unknown I’m into family and success As far as the seed is thrown What suites you I wish you best Whatever you want to recover We are the best and damn the rest To a future we hope rediscover Our next of kin shall begin Our moment of discovery When peaceful demonstrations Don't fade away and away Or lead us astray in any way From all we call contenders We reach up with a hand that’s fast For freedom that lasts and lasts What we are fighting for I rest my case and still adore A country named..... America

Hi Yankee & thankyou for sharing this write.. Freedom is precious no matter where one lives! Peaceful demonstrations here in UK are about to be curtailed by a new bill soon to be passed here in UK! This will give the powers that be, to outlaw any peaceful demo..
I can't even imagine the reasons why such a law could ever be passed in a truly democratic country such as Great Britain. After what happened at the U.S. capital back in January, I understand the reasoning for such measures to limit gatherings, but there's no excuse for any freely elected representative government to control our freedom for the sake of security. It's a little like "the fox being put uncharge of building a better hen house" isn't it?
