Freedom Feigns

Freedom Feigns




Lady Liberty lost.

At what cost?

We weep in woe-be-gone days

Whilst the winds reign on the plains,

Dwindling on a divided highway

Where it finally wanes,

As Freedom feigns its way to

the divide of outworn wisdom

eluding the false Albatross,

where the purity of truth

became just a lie

whitewashed.

A strange, yet beautiful poem** Great

Why does this poem remind me of Donald Trump's attempt at running the USA? Maybe it's the last line:
"As Freedom feigns its way to
the divide where outworn wisdom
is eluded by a false Albatross
liquefying in lurid luxury soon lost."

Of course it's probably more about ideals than just one man, but he comes to mind.
Good poem.
