Liberty on the Brink

With the elections drawing near this piece practically wrote itself through me.

Liberty on the Brink

Freedom is the air I breathe and Liberty my drink

Take it away from anyone; I am going to the brink

An idea that’s brought the many to act as the one

Held sacred and secure with colors that don’t run

 

Liberty and freedom illuminates hearts and minds

A principle worth keeping whatever a future finds

A mosque, temple, church or a dance around a tree

No matter where you gravitate all must stay free

 

Liberty stands firmly at the gates of The Free Land

 Despite all the differences we’d walk hand in hand

Applied to all and equally, be whomever you may be

We hold up all her principals and evil will surly flee

 

Standing upon a precipice about to lose too much

As the few do use the many out of fear as a crutch

Back towards the hopes our forefathers did desire

The highest ideals of people their words did aspire

 

Challenge all the few of power, freely with no fear

Surrender not the principles held so near and dear

Freedom is the air we breathe and liberty we drink

Take away from anyone, and we all go to the brink

THis very composition really outlays how this grim reality sometimes turns up.. really inspired.. we all go to the brink.

I am sure while it seems a grim state of affairs in our nation, the truth is that "We the People" have all the power if we could but just get on the same page about the truly important issues. Thank you for the high praise.

That we will. I have missed you terribly and it is wonderful to read you again.

So many dreams... so many frustrations... so few real choices.
