The Cause of Freedom
To speak you mind, and hopefully truth,
while hordes of folks disagree with you,
and keep your cool when they speak too,
this is the cause of freedom.
To arm yourself for your defense,
protecting against all miscreants,
and tolerating no tyrants,
this is the case of freedom.
To relentlessly stand and give fight
to poisoned minds with all their might,
when they come to take your rights,
this is the cause of freedom.
The recognize the boundary lines,
you have your life, you have your time,
but make no move on what is mine,
this is the cause of freedom.
To work and earn you every cent,
to spend it by your own judgement,
and place no trust in government,
this is the cause of freedom.
To live your life quite honestly,
speak and act with sincerity,
Categorically reject P.C.,
this is the cause of freedom.
To see life is an endless hill,
but our one chance to get our fill,
make our own choices by our own will,
this is the cause of freedom.
To stand against the powerful,
every ready to take it all,
burning with hunger, never full,
they would crush all your freedoms.
To treat all by standards same,
your only ‘identity’ is your name,
no group upon you has a claim,
this is the cause of freedom.
To realize it’s the best there is,
a great burden, but a greater gift,
the tool to build a true life with,
this is the cause of freedom.
Live up to your freedom.
’Cause people died for it.
