“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

― Abraham Lincoln

*

Ours is the day.

The fault lines have been laid bare.

A sifting has begun.

Lawfare is the prelude to warfare.

Debate is settled with bullets.

Each side has chosen their freedom of speech.

Liberty isn’t license.

Healers bring not a salve but a leech.

And we will be bled,

Because we couldn’t learn to live free.

We are the riders on a storm.

We shall reap the whirlwind.

    2. “Lawfare is the prelude to warfare” It captures how division can eat away at freedom from within. A timely and sobering reflection on what it means to truly live free.
