Choice Concerns
When it is all whittled down,
A core of freedom is left to place.
Where fundamental questions seek the
Constitution, for answers, case by case.
The fulcrum seems to slide back and forth,
From right to left at the start.
Seeking to balance the lever of justice,
And preserve humanities heart.
Here the weight of liberty on one end,
Shouldn't remove the gains on the other side.
Since the roots of law share this burden,
Where autonomy won't restrain what others applied.
If independence is our lofty goal,
That preference must be true and held high.
Where one's volition won't detract from another's,
And all voices are heard above the cry.
