Our Individual Freedom

Our Individual Freedom

The contemplative faith of the gray shadow
of the tall tree on the white sunlit sidewalk
reiterates laughter through wide expanse
of broad meadows where armies once fought wars.

This quiet hour before the coming storm
I contemplate patterns of human history
that alternates with states of war and peace
when people fight over who will play god.

Hang on tight to your plastic unicorns
for the merry-go-round of change speeds up
as we plunge laughing through another cycle
to replay that eternal war in Heaven.

Though greedy dictators will always rise,
and attempt to control the games of life,
we will assert our individual freedom
and live according to dictates of conscience.

The autonomy of our private bodies
we declare as our universal right
for every person to assert their will
to live as they dream, if they hurt no others.

We will unite with sword of liberty
to fight dictators who suppress our rights
by voting for the leader of our nation
the person who respects rights of all people.

When politicians wearing honest masks
to hide rotten corruption of their greed
suppress right of every person to vote
we will unite to fight for liberty.

The honest leader who respects our rights
will fight for right of every soul to vote
for we share this fertile land as one nation
united in our love for liberty.
