Notes About The Poem

Liberty

Wrapped up as a present,
delivered to a new home.
Inside of its own wrap
she wanted to be shown.

       She stands up there,
proud of herself.
She looks everywhere,
to welcome the new future.

       Many people try to look
 inside of her, others, 
 just take some pictures 
for a new album next to her.

       She talks but nobody listens. 
She teaches about pride and liberty,
in a deaf school.

       She's a hero from the past,
and everything to be searched for,  
in our present and the new days.
A present that needs a new freedom
inside of everyone of us.

       A reference surrounded by waters.
Always a guide to help to discover 
the liberty lying inside of us.

It's good to be reminded, from time to time, what is the character of that Liberty, which we hold in such high regard, because it can never be divorced from the civic responsibility we each are expected, wittingly or no, to apply in our relationships and actions. This hybrid Democratic-Republic is not a guaranteed blessing to any person but the dawning of a spirit which commands a continued faith and unwavering dedication. Thanks friend, for this revisited shofar.
