Poem for the People

For quite some time now the chorus of the song "Poem for the People" has been displayed prominently in the masthead of this blog.  But today it's the verses that have meaning.

If the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond

The world's a funny place you know
But most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny at all

Could the people understand?
In only whisper and screams
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend?
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel

The world's a funny place you know
But most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny at all

If they only knew.  If they would just open their friggin' eyes, stop and think about what's happening around them, and realize what their government is doing to them.  THEN we'd have a chance to stop our ghastly march to serfdom.

As fate would have it, perhaps we've reached a Center of Gravity moment.  The people can suddenly see, and suddenly feel.

A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.

I don't want to get my hopes up too much.  But when you see THAT MANY people awake and aware of the danger our government poses to our God-given rights, you have to be somewhat encouraged.

Now if we can just awaken the other 44%.
