Poem 154: Freedom Convoy

Ontario’s “Freedom Convoy” is now into weekend number three

They haven’t accomplished all that much as far as I can see

Calling it a “peaceful” protest doesn’t seem all that right

When you have participants honking their horns all day and night

They gridlocked Parliament Hill and been there since January twenty eighth

Still trying to convince this nation that they are doing it in good faith

It has been a spectacle right from the start

No one has a clue when they will finally depart

This convoy travelled from the east and west determined to put on a show

As they meandered to their destination they were heralded everywhere that they would go

Windsor, Ottawa and Toronto in Ontario have been put to the test

Quebec City in the east as well as Edmonton in the west

The regulations for vaccines is what they are choosing to reject

In this whole process, they are losing all of their respect

These people have been hailed as heroes for the efforts they have put through

Now all of this is being tarnished by these chosen few

This freedom convoy in no way represents all the truckers that are on the road

Chances are, most of these participants will never haul another load

When this protest breaks up, they are going to need a lot of luck

I’m sure the names will be exposed of the owners of every single truck

With vaccine mandates being lifted, this group is claiming that they won

Forgetting that it has been over two weeks since their fiasco first begun

They have dragged it out so long that it was close to the pre set time frame

If it gets them out of town, let’s pretend they won this game

Fellow truckers around the world are beginning to follow their lead

Who knows if any of them will actually succeed?

Our Government has been more than lenient handling this rebel crowd

Things that were done here, in other Countries, would never be allowed

They blocked the “Ambassador Bridge” that leads to the United States

Which means it’s gone international for companies that handle freight

“Biden” and “Trudeau” are talking and things are getting heated

Things are going to change in the way this special group is treated

A seven o’clock curfew Saturday, in Ontario was set for these truckers to depart

If there is going to be any violence, this could be when it will start

Hundreds of millions of dollars are being lost in the “Auto Industry” everyday

Their top priority will be getting all these “semis” out of the way

Police forces from all over Ontario are being recruited to bring this to an end

This group better find themselves flexible because they will have to bend

They have to become aware of the line that they have crossed

I am hoping that this can all be resolved without any lives being lost
