Poem
Liberty and Justice For whom? Conflict within my own mind Not knowing where to stand Deciding to take the time To research and understand One must, when one aligns, With one team or the other, Walk a mile in their shoes, To feel how they must suffer. Every choice made by me Filters through my faith Not what man says is True Fallible, we make mistakes. God has granted us freewill With every road we walk The right or the left, A choice is what we want. Our forefathers fought and died On bloody battlefields To earn the right to decide To pursue happiness and freewill Both ideals I look up to The standard I fall back on The laws of God and laws of man Will not lead me wrong. Everyone of us has the right To decide what truth really is And if we think to limit this to mine, To my truth alone, We steal the right for which we fight To have our choice condoned. For everything we take from them, We are stealing from ourselves The right to choose is a gift For us and them as well. Who are we to say they can't When God says that they can? He is the only one who knows the heart, intentions, and thoughts of man. And when it comes to differences Race, gender, class, and more When Jesus died to save our lives Those differences now ignored For we become one in Christ If we love and take his hand… So divided we will surely fall But united, now, we stand.
