Sonnet – Keep a Diary or Something, Anything!

Freedom ebbs and flows and is hard to keep

Especially when sheep make it repeat

By “it,” I mean the past; it makes me weep…

…when you know the end ‘fore you leave your seat

Look out when the Road Runner says meep-meep

See the anvil when Coyote talks sweet?

Sovereignty is worth more than a peep

Yet, some need a map when crossing the street

So remember what happened yesterday

It creates truth from what the liars say.
