Still from video of Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada, 2022 (Ottawalks)‘Freedom Convoy Song’: Lyrics by Lannie David Brockstein The Society March 16, 2023 Culture, Poetry, Song Lyrics 3 Comments . Freedom Convoy Song To bravely speak is to turn on the lights, __To silence darkens all of our debate; Yea, We the People know free speech unites __What foreign censorship did separate. The former, it is our G-d given right __That every patriotic soul respects, Whereas the latter was spat from the spite __Of swamp creatures who have a god-complex. Who’s like the monocultural Nimrod? __Who deems himself a fashionable pharaoh? Whose tyranny shall be defeat’d by G-d? __Vaccine supremacist blackface-Trudeau! Our Freedom Convoy stands against mandates! They’re nothing but worse than useless dictates! . . . Lannie David Brockstein is a poet, songwriter, singer, guitarist, and photographer living in Ottawa, Canada.

Aren’t all songs, even those that are the littlest amongst them, supposed to be sung? The following link leads to a literary video that I made. It features an audio recording of myself demonstrating how the lyrics of my Freedom Convoy Song are meant to be sung: https://odysee.com/@lanniebrockstein:1/freedomconvoysong:a Reply Norma Pain March 18, 2023 Thank you Lannie for this poem. You have given the link to a huge amount of footage covering the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, that caught on in other countries and accomplished the job of getting the message out, that freedom is all that we are asking for and it is being denied us by our so-called leaders. One large sign read “Freedom or Die”, and I think that just about sums it up for humanity.
