Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Love It Or Lose It

The dirty laundry
of democracy
Near impossible
to clean

You bask in freedom
until it’s gone
Whose nightmare kills
the dream

Warts and pimples
in plain view
Perfection
for the sage

To govern
as the Lord decrees
Our liberty
uncaged

To make those choices
for yourself
And pay the price
be damned

Instead of letting
tyrants rule
To serve
— at their command

(Villanova University: September, 2025)
