Time for you to shine
Don’t wait until it’s too late
There isn’t the time
for lying or pretending
Don’t let them take your freedom.

I like the photo of the neon light shining its message in the darkness.
And I love your call to arms in the form of a tanka.
Very well done, Judy. 👏🏻

Thank you, Christopher🤗. I liked that the photo had light in the dark and contained the word time. I was watching an interview with George Orwell yesterday, he had such amazing insight, he looked into the camera and said it was up to us to prevent 1984 from happening, it was very profound. I’m going to post a shorter clip of that interview soon.

So very, very true. When it’s too late, it’s too late and time is dwindling fast.

Thank you, WG. Time seems to be sped up too, everything is being changed so fast and the masses of people just go along with it, assuming it’s temporary. Freedom is so hard won but we’re just giving it away over nothing.
