Liberty Rising

Beneath the roar of rhetoric tossed 
Bellowing in waves of stripes lost
I can hear a song of hope
Surviving among the trope
50 to one we resist this star
Hand in hand united we are
And with blindfold, balance, and sword 
We shall resend all accord 
For days numbered are upon
What hate did spawn 
And in light, darkness shall pass
Bringing to heel what was once crass
Ending the spread of petulance
With innocence, valor, and vigilance

Liberty rising. Tyranism sinking. Word placement seemed lacking for rhyme.
