Freedom, What Happened To Justice? Poem by Hebert Logerie

Freedom, What Happened To Justice?



I wonder every day, what happened to Freedom?
What happened to Justice? Justice and Freedom
Should walk or march hand in hand, together
Things are bad, worse than ever, bitter not better
Where there's no Freedom; there's no Justice
Unfortunately, our world is full of injustice
Where justice is bought
And peace is sought
Our world is full of lies, hypocrisies and biases
The majorities can castigate, criticized the minorities
Yet, the minorities have to shut up. They can be criticized
Ridiculed and cursed at like they were little sick puppies
Our world needs to wake up because the coffee is burning
The mass is hungry, dirty, drugged up, desperate and suffering
The minorities who are the "true majorities" will one day ring
All of the bells: the bells of Freedom and the bells of Justice
Our world is tired of being exploited and ruled by naughty cats
I mean the aristocrats and the jingoistic members of the oligarchy
Democracy is having the rights to criticize Republicans and Democrats
It is not a privilege, however driving a car is. Breathing is a necessity
If you cannot breathe, you die. If you don't vote for the right candidates
You're really stupid, you've been fooled and you have less in your plates
Everything is intertwined: Freedom, Justice, Peace and Democracy.

I am Canadian. During your latest SHOUT OUT a group of old canadian vanilla " volunteer nurses" who force vaccinations on rural folks- and think they're God's little worker bees- were trapped in a high class resort in a tourist zone! I was hoping someone there would chop their idiotic heads off on a youtube channel livestream. Alas, you Haitians are too civilized- the old vanilla nurses are back here- planning their next visit to you. Shudda chopped em while you had em!

The problem is there are No Right candidates Right, left or middle, So how can you have freedom and justice If the " governing class" is just A bad tune from a lying, broken Fiddle? Idealistic and fine poem. But unfortunately, every day less justice, more tyranny. Just pray we don't all become, Cuba and Venezuela.
