Thoughts on Oppression

[Akwaba]

Oppression takes many forms. Us a African we know it well as our gun toting policemen, and even askari's. Or our unruly politicians that are often heavy handed. It also takes the form of our banking system designed to cause poverty, or the world government which just like our leaders doesn't always have our best interests in mind.

At this time, I often realize what made the United States great is it ORIGINAL system of government centered around freedom. They valued freedom so much that you can burn the flag say anything you please because they knew one persons view of right is not necessarily the others.

At times I pause and see we might be going the European way.
Metternich one of the godfathers of the European states viewed "freedom as the voluntary acceptance of authority".
Klemens von Metternich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Oppression"

Oppression
you pray on us when we sleep
oppression
you chase after the tired the poor the weak
oppression
you know you mean only harm
oppression
you reach out with your long arm

but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
you seek population control
oppression
to divide and to conquer is your goal
oppression
I swear that hatred is your home
oppression
you just won't leave bad enough alone

but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
I don't see how you sleep
oppression
for your bleeding conscience I weep
oppression
you may have the dollar on your side
but oppression
from the gospel truth you cannot hide
and
oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me
oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall fear me
