Where indeed is "freedom's voice." We are not getting a say in this. They expect us to fall in line and do what they tell us without letting us express our freewill.

This political 5-7-5, State of the Union, has the proper formatting and asks about freedom's voice. It is burning in innocent shopkeepers businesses, pulled to the ground as police are made harmless by those once protected.

I liked the way you have highlighted the issue your country is currently facing. It's happening in most of the places as such. Fine use of personification. Nice presentation. Good luck!

Your poem sparks deep emotion. Some people go on living as if nothing is wrong.
I'm afraid of everything. I'm letting fear control me. The thing I fear the most is lack of leaderships. I don't like being told everything is fine when it's not.

Well, you definitely said it all in very few words. Nice poem, good read, great art work, and I like the color scheme of the words. Best of luck in the contest.

This poem entry is well written and thought out. It should do well as an entry for the Political 5-7-5 writing prompt. Best of luck in the contest!

State of the Union

Hello my friend

Nice entry for the
Political 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines for better flow. The theme is relatable... it's sad to see our country so divided.

That's such a good question: Where is freedom's voice? Are we free to express opinions that do not align with the politically correct way of thinking? Freedom's voice must stay locked in the mind. I just hope it doesn't get so locked away that it is forgotten.

The second post I've read for this contest. Both are quite good and certainly timely. Indeed, "Where is freedom's voice?" Don't think I heard much on tv this morning. Bill

I adore the artwork and your words here are powerful and politics everywhere in the world seem to bring fear to the people, especially in democratic countries where anything can happen, freedom never seems to be attained, a poignant write, love Dolly x
