Independence Should Not Be A Question

September 17, 2014

Poetry

Independence should not be a question,

It cannot be caged by man made boundaries,

It is the birthright of all men!

As a world we should cheer,

Hold hands in solidarity for those that long for freedom.

Our Scottish brothers and sisters strive for self-rule,

To live their lives of shared history as one nation,

Abandoning the sovereignty of the Crown.

This eve we should pray that their dream comes to fruition,

That they may stand as an independent Scotland

And proudly wave their flag for all the world to behold.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

    I did post this on the eve of the vote on the 17th. The 18th was the vote and the people voted to stay aligned with the U.K. which is fine, that was their choice.

Nations are an illusion of the collective mind-set.

  You are correct, they are a creation of the collective mind-set, however this referendum is quite real and will have lasting consequences no matter which way it goes. Thank you so much for you comment, I appreciate it very much.

Umm I’m not so sure about that, I think they will regret it but of course they should have the choice.

  Perhaps, you certainly are much closer to the issue than I, but I do believe they should have the right to determine their own destinies for better or worse. We shall see. :)

Love it! Indeed, independence should not be a question, as if it is an extra benefit. It is in fact essential. I would extend this mindset to many other types of human rights. ;)

  I agree, I thought this was such a great and monumental, but in fact you are right, it does apply to many other types of human rights. Thank you my friend. :)
