Mark J. Halliday Poet Acrostic

Freedom's Call

Freedom's Call
Responsibility to protect
Every citizen's rights,
Even if you don't agree with them.
Democracy as a concept in practice, not just theory,
Only works if citizens are educated and involved.
Majorities rule, but must respect minorities.
Science and fashion must not replace morality.
Constitution must be supported and defended.
America is more than just a curious social experiment.
Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness;
Love and respect for God, families, and country.
