Of Man and Nature, a Democratic Union

"I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out" -Walt Whitman I walk the land as I want, the flutter of the dove shudders my eyelids, dodging my step. My soul, linking all souls, passes through trees on my trail, bounding among planets glimpsed between the apex of pine. I have no fear of being beyond my body, nor does the seed that falls from spent flower, anguish beyond time. The unseen bloom, millenial light-years away, shares inherent liberty. Many will gather these words and hold them to the highest light, that of our Creator, whose compassion trifles not with material gain, but with justice and liberty for all living things, (equal with respect to all previous sufferings and triumphs centuries before) So it is with high diligence I value the true compass of man and woman, forever linked with our inalienable rights, as nature intends. 02/20/14 © All Rights Reserved

This is the first poem of yours I have ever read and I must say. What a wonderful expression of human rights And how they've been given to us by our Creator and not by some government entity.
