Land of the Free by Armenida Qyqja

RIP Charlie Kirk

With her torn dress and breasts exposed
She leads men in the battlefield,
Each stroke of paint mocks me
And this idiotic century...

Do you know what liberty really is?
She asks me day and night,
Her gaze so high and proud
And peril all around...

See, a man will miss his son
'Till his last breath
And two children, their father's arms,
Around them, all their lives...

Land of the free, America sings,
Before the football games,
While a free word's friend,
Lays dead, but not silent yet...

Painting: Eugene Delacroix, “Liberty Leading the People” (1830)
