Liberty

L  Liberty is rarely seen among men.

I   It's hard to live a life that is free,

B  Because freedom for those we hate, we must defend,

E  Each one wants freedom, but not for you and me.

R  Respect for others, not just our kin.

T  To let others be, as they want to be.

Y  Yes, they can be a friend.
