Freedom To Choose
To me, freedom is the right to choose
Whether we win or lose is up to us.
Winner take all, the losers lose,
or work nine to five: win by peruse
It takes all kind
but none with flippant mind
to debate humankind
rights divine
True freedom came out of Edinborough,
from clash after clash of brilliant minds,
within an essay most could empower,
as inspired by the divine.
Incorporated into our constitution
before it had its name.
Delivering a great nation
which quickly rose to fame.
I believe:
I have the right To:
What
When
Where
To whom
For as long as
I WANT- - -
So what does that make me?
First I am a dictator and unfair.
Second I am arrogant with cold hearted air.
Third I’m a bubble head with no chance of repair.
Are you protected from someone like me?
Yes the courts provide solace if I invade
beyond my space with a tirade.
Punishment should keep one afraid
of frivolous accusations, comments made.
The golden rule is by far the best tool.
For how plans are made and how laid.
Common sense across the fence.
A neighborly way each day.
