‘Freedom Convoy Song’: Lyrics by Lannie David Brockstein

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!

    The “Still from video of Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada, 2022 (Ottawalks)”, which I am pleased that Evan selected to illustrate my Freedom Convoy Song, is from one of the many unedited livestreamed videos filmed by Ottawalks from January 28th, 2022 to February 20th, 2022 of the Freedom Convoy protest at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO3-QZL_fvZpvziAiSPQAoFx4dj16TOrd

    Part of the etymological root of “sonnet” is “sonet”, which translates into English as “little song”. 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

    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.

      Dear Norma,

      I posted a reply to your previous comment, but it does not seem to have been posted in direct reply—hence this reply to let you know that I posted a reply to your previous reply!

      From Lannie.

    Dear Norma,

    The following link leads to the website of the “National Citizens Inquiry” that formed in part because of how feckless the “Public Order Emergency Commission” turned out to be.

    https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/

    At the bottom of its homepage there are links to its channels at Rumble, and at YouTube where its “LIVE” page lists more than a dozen full testimonial videos, several of which are more than ten hours in duration, by hundreds of Canadians from across the country.

    The last of the National Citizens Inquiry’s eight hearing is scheduled for today [May 19th, 2023] from 9 AM to 5 PM EST, and is being livestreamed/broadcasted online and unedited in real time at Rumble and YouTube.

    From Lannie.

  1. Roy Eugene Peterson on ‘The Passing’: A Poem by Margaret BrintonJuly 29, 2026

    Margaret, how wonderful to contemplate your beautiful thoughts of passing.

  2. Roy Eugene Peterson on ‘Of Webs and Whispers’: A Poem by Susan Jarvis BryantJuly 29, 2026

    Another fabulous iteration feasting on alliteration!

  3. Karen Rodgers on ‘The Passing’: A Poem by Margaret BrintonJuly 29, 2026

    Beautiful Margaret, too many of us are shuffled or frog-marched off into a holding facility, fronted by a Potempkin Facade…

  4. Eugenio Cappuccio on ‘The Passing’: A Poem by Margaret BrintonJuly 29, 2026

    Very touching. It reminded me of Pope’s Ode to Solitude somehow, perhaps the love of nature’s company against all solitude.

  5. Eugenio Cappuccio on Poetry Book Review: Petrarch’s Canzoniere, Translated by A.M. JusterJuly 29, 2026

    Yes, that dreadful furore that exiled Dante from Florence.
