I appreciate very much your reading the poem and taking the time to make a comment but I wasn't really thinthinking about government surveillance but really the atmosphere of the so called art world now and the atmosphere in our schools and work places. This goes deeper than government and started long before their were laws on he books allowing government surveillance. It happens even in private situations and in teaching on a case by case basis and is only parially a poltical problem. The problem as I see it is not political. It is spiritual. It is the desire to control and how it is ruining modern poetry and the human soul, even the soul of children that concerns. I DO NOT WRITE POLTICAL POEMS PER SE NOR AM I IN FAVOR F THEM. POETRY FLOATS ABOVE, IS TRANSCENDANT AND IS A WAY OF ESCAPING ALL THE BS. That's just my opinion. I also believe if people want to write political poetry they are free to do that and I am not their judge. It's just not something I'm interested in. Though I DO agree with you that the level of government surveillance is getting ridiculous and bizarre beyond what is actually needed for so called homeland security. I guess it's all related really. The question comes down to finding your freedom in God and in your own creative work and in prayer we are always free. Inner freedom is the most important and we need God's help to preserve it. Bless you for caring about freedom.
