Che Guevara Wannabe Poem by Edmund V. Strolis

If there was a way to know you would find that the writers from America and elsewhere are all under one tent. The easy tent of supposed open-mindedness. Where are their writings against such obstruction to their fellow citizens rights? You will not find me in league with them. I care nothing about being popular. I am that rare creature a conservative independent open to true liberal ideas and not to the cookie-cutter mentality that looks the other way when injustice is done to those they disagree with. That is why I am a fan of John Lennon, a rare free thinker gone from a world divided deeply.

I would love more than anything not to write anything political but there are those that want to silence opposite viewpoints. People that respond to criticism with verbal and physical attempts to shut down anything that they do not like. They do so through the education system, through the media, by means of labeling others as racist or whatever label works for them. Very Orwellian. That crazy part is that they view themselves as some sort of noble freedom-fighters when in fact they are fighters of freedom. They call others fascist while attempting to physically intimidate or keep others from being able to assemble under their own banner. They are the opposite of what this country was meant to be and the media/entertainment/political/education machine enables and encourages the cowards. A very dangerous thing to do.
