Born Free…
Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide
Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
'Cause you're born free. (Born Free/Don Black)
The song is called "Born Free" and it's about being free like the wind and grass. The protagonist is encouraged to follow his heart and live freely because the world is beautiful and full of surprises.
As I watched and read the news regarding the upcoming Republican, (or is it the TRUMP PARTY) debate, (or is it the TRUMP PARTY side-show), the song Born Free started ruminating in my head. 8 count ‘em, 8 people will be on stage promoting their VOTE FOR ME PLEASE anguished talents. Maybe two of the 8 will demonstrate a backbone and or spine, but at least 6 of them will most likely showcase their disloyalty to our Constitution and Form of Democracy. And most of them will CERTAINLY emanate their SHEER SHALLOWNESS AND COWARDNESS. AND MOST OF THEM WILL NOT NOR EVER BE FREE!
Now, I know that with the Republicans void of a real platform, these folks will discuss issues of WOKENESS, explaining as best they can lie, that to be free is not to be LGBTQ, or a person with Female reproductive lady genitals, an Immigrant, or that Slavery was a freeing kind of American concept, or read just any book. BUT MOST OF THEM WILL CERTAINLY NOT DISCUSS THEIR OWN LACK OF FREEDOM, from the confines of an American Enemy, TRUMP. For them, life seems not to be “…worth living…free!”
