Freedom

I am the banner planted on the hill, Twisting and flapping in the breeze. I am the pale bird following the ship, Over blue waves and swelling seas. I am rain falling on the growing corn, The music that makes people dance. I am the open book, the tree in leaf, The honesty of pure romance. I am a star that shines in velvet night, A mystery preserved alone. Your world is as it is, no more, no less, You know my name - but seek your own. Preserve integrity and Freedom’s rules, Keep them from cradle to the grave: Value humanity and nature - above all, Call no man master, no man slave.
