Goverment

      I found this quote in Susan's blog that explains a lot of what the government does to people

''Instead of holding people back and telling them what to do, we must facilitate all of our rights of freedom.''
       Government has been taking our place in our say in what we think is right. Sure, they have many important people representing the ''whole America'', but really just represents the people who work for the government.
Government has been taking away our freedom by not letting all people vote, deciding things for us, and making up stupid laws that can go against a lot of people who have done nothing wrong.
       It is like the government is speaking for us. The problem is why do we let them do that, and no I am not saying let us make a riot and kill them all, but have more of a voice in our nation. We should be able to spread  our opinions to others in a safe way that does not neglect others. It is a way in which we can make new ideas that can benefit others as well. This a poem in which we made in seventh grade that I give out my ideas on the freedom people have today.

                                                        Is freedom out there

I ask myself this question
I guess others do too
What is freedom?
It seems to be lost in a puddle of honor, power, and strength
that comes from those who speak for us
Is it true?
Freedom is still out there?
In the laws we have to follow
Constricting us and our morals
Or the men in black suites who seem to always have more power than me
 Is  my yellow top and skinny jeans not enough?
The lesson we need to learn is this:
Learn to accept the differences
the choices
the opinions
the looks
the personalities
the fame
and fortune
the poor
 and stupid (well, the not so smart)
the colors
and race
the culture
in all people.
Do you think this is a way to a new beginning?
A way to let others know
Hey, I am somebody who needs respect and wants to help
So, listen up goverment
