Freedom can be hard to find
What do you mean, he’s not coming:
a daughter of Scotland is ready to greet him.
We took her in the flush of youth’
moulded her.
She requires loyalty.
She is amazing,
Ready to go.
Washed and brushed.
The cream of the crop.
Temptation itself.
I have laid on food,
fit for a president.
Yes she is a foreigner,
does that matter so much.
I’m am one myself.
Matter of fact:
So is every one.
When the lights go out,
We all leave.
Whether a serf or leader of men.

Powerful message, Michael
Thank you Sir
Dear Michael,
So true. No one gets out of this life alive. Well said.
Shalom,
Rochelle
PS itself rather than It’s self which literally means “it is self” and it saves you a word. 😉
Thank you Rochelle, I’m indebted
Yup. We’re all foreigners
So true, thank you Neil
Very true, also don’t be messing with a daughter of Scotland – we don’t take kindly to that! 😉
Thank you Iain,
Perhaps that is the real violation here:the refusal to honor the worldwide custom of hospitality–either when receiving or when extending it!
That is very true. Hospitality is a great gift, and much under attack.
Oh, I see trouble on the horizon, for sure.
(he’s are not coming ~ I think the “are” could be taken out of this sentence.)
Thank you Alicia, I started of writing about a group of individuals buying slaves. “are” was left in by mistake,
strong message, well told. great stuff
So pleased to read your feedback
Beautiful and powerful, well done.
Thank you so much,
Yep, at the end of the day we’re all the same.
Very true, these days being fair needs promoting
Beautiful wording for a deep message. I really enjoyed it. At the core, we are all the same and foreigners every one.
Thank you very much Brenda, these days being fair needs promotion
Topical, true and important. Good piece, Michael.
Thank you Penny
There are come universal truths, to which no one is immune. Nice.
Appreciated Jo
I’m reading that Scotland gave up some precious landscape for a greedy president’s golf-course.
Indeed, I wonder if the president will return the favour and give Scotland some land, from his own country…
Yep the lights go out on us all. Great story!
Thank you Tannille
that’s a wisely worded poetry !
It is kind of you to say so, thank you
This is written in a poetic form and showed great patriotism, Michael. It’s lovely. 🙂 — Suzanne
