What Would Your Answer Be?

GHOST FROM FLANDERS FIELD

Adapted from poem by Douglas Walker.

I had a dream the other night,  I’d like you to understand,
A figure walking through the mist,  with 303 in hand. 
His clothes were torn and dirty,  as he stood there by my bed,
He took off his slouch hat,  and speaking low he said:

We fought at Gallipoli,  and other horrific places to secure liberty,
We valued our Federation,  as a shield from tyranny. 
For future generations, this legacy we gave, to
this Australia, the land of the free and home of the brave.

The freedom we secured for you,  we hoped you’d always keep,
But tyrants laboured endlessly while your parents were asleep. 
Your freedom gone -your courage lost -you’re no more than a slave,
In this Australia,  the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You buy permits for everything,  permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own,  you pay a yearly rent,
Although you have no voice in choosing how the money’s spent.

Your children must attend a school that doesn’t educate,
Your moral values can’t be taught,  according to the state. 
You read about the current news,  in a very biased press,
You pay a tax you do not owe,  to please the parliament.

Your money is no longer made,  of silver or of gold,
You trade your wealth for paper,  so your life can be controlled.
You pay for crimes that make our Nation turn from God to shame,
You’ve taken Satan’s number,  as you’ve traded in your name.

You’ve given total control,  to those who do you harm,
So they can destroy your place of work,  and steal the family farm.
And keep our country deep in debt,   and put good men in jail,
Harass your fellow countryman,   while corrupted courts prevail.

Your public servants don’t uphold the solemn oath they’re sworn,
Your daughters visit doctors so children won’t be born. 
Your leaders ship men and guns to foreign shores,
and send your sons to slaughter,  fighting other people’s wars.

Can you regain your Freedom,  for which we fought and died?
Or don’t you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride? 
Are there no real values for which you’ll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children,  live in fear and be as slaves?

Sons and daughters of Australia,  arise and take a stand!
Demand a fresh constitution,  as the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our Federation,  and each God-given right!
And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!

As I awoke he vanished,  in the mist from whence he came,
His words were true,  we are not free, and we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample on each God-given right,
We only watch and tremble — too afraid to stand and fight.

If this Aussie stood by your bedside,  in a dream while you’re asleep,
And wondered,  what remained of your rights,  he fought to keep. 
What would your answer be,   if he called you from the grave?
asking,  is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?

Lest we forget.                                           Joe Bryant

  2. Politicians must be barred from, posing and demonstrating hypocritical crocodile tears at ANZAC DAY REMEMBRANCES unless they have served.

  4. Joe Bryant, well thought out and written.

    Not all men who went to war were good men but most were. Some even changed and became good men fighting for the right reason. The majority went off to war for the right reason but did not know what the war was really about. Not till years later did they learn that the only reason and cause of his war was to make the Bankers and Military Industrial Complex vastly wealthy.

  6. At Mary’s situation update today at beforeitsnews.com people powered news.
    The ‘promo’ as the starter has members of Congress in the people’s Congress waving Ukrainian flags.
    ( pity the flip side unseen has the swastika… 🙀💁)
    Anyway, I draw attention for consideration, the thoughts of a ‘sheeple’ who has suffered from the injected genocide at about 24 mins – a published letter in the Uk.
    🙏🙏🙏💁 some may be your family members, but they are certainly suffering fellow humans.

    • Yeah, I read her letter. She whines that social media has dumped on her. Apparently, the ‘anti-vaxxers’ are saying things like they tried to warn her and it is her own damn fault. She’s saying she was just naive and trusted authority. Crikey, how many psy-ops do you have to live through to get a clue. She admits that the vaxxed may have acted like ass-holes back then, but she feels she and her family should just be allowed to fade away and left alone. Too bad they didn’t allow the anti-vaxxers to be left alone.

      Heck, the mob promoted violence against people that refused the vax. Maybe they should renew their call for violence against the people that actually harmed them. Anybody got Fauci’s address?

      • Yes, I recall Senator Lambie mercilessly vilifying us.
        And she was just one of the dumb roles.
        Think of all the msss media culprits plus other politicians et.al.
        Going to be hard not to forget them as we lose so many.
        NEVER AGAIN ! TELL THE WHO TO SHOVE ITS PLANS AND DITTO TO OUR MEDICAL SPIVS AND POLITICIANS.
        Not to forget that ACT Gallagher minister.

        • The problem will persist.
          Who would be stupid enough ever;
          To trust a politician,
          A medical heath pretender.
          Anyone from the mass media, including the ABC, ABS or any shock joke Spiv.
          NEVER TRUST ANY OF THEM AGAIN.
          Period.

  7. Lets learn from the truth about our history.

    “is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?”

  11. Want a quiet entertaining evening not watching tv?
    Then watch the 1976 movie: ‘Capricorn One’.
    Then find the link in Ben Fulford’s preview today at rumormillnews.com – reading room.
    When I watched the film I recall thinking that we were being told.
    If the moon is out of your budget, you can go to Bulgaria to see a bit of the ‘moonscape’ as publicised by Fulford …. Just scroll down about half way and look at both photos…. Plus the moon chapies?
    So the governments want to censor reality.🙀🤪🤪🤪
    They are the seriously UNREAL and keep demonstrating it.

  12. We have seen some changes in sixty years, from numero uno to Wellcome, what do you call it?
    When I migrated here as an eight year old, everything was made in Oz, better than elsewhere. Now we make jack poo, reading instructions how to put a kit together that falls apart when assembled.
    Spare the bs, all done to plan.
    All we have to do is say No More.
    We are many they are few, better days for children a must if we want it to.
