The Battle for Liberty

Ernest Hemmingway...

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places."

The Battle for Liberty

Who tells their children as they grow

Go forth and be lazy and weak?

What parent would tell them it's important you know

Just what welfare benefits to reap?

Success brings falls and cracks in your bones

Getting to a goal is never a walk in the park

It is not easy navigating moss covered stones

Across a river of adversary alone in the dark

The cheers should come for graduates and worker bees

Not for the corrupt and deviously cunning

It takes all you've got to conserve liberties

The number of uninformed is just stunning

If life has not contributed to your pain

Among the many joys your freedom brought

You long ago missed the freedom train

Is reaching for handouts the game you were taught?
