Poem Artwork


With liberty and justice for some
The best of us the worst of us say
The rest of us wait to overcome

Dreaming of some overcoming day
Wondering how it may ever come
But tomorrow never comes that way

When how is not then but now to fight
For the many as good as any
Held down too long but becoming strong

Now is the how or never because
The time is right if ever it was
To bring in that day out of this night

Bring in the spring to rise in the fall
With liberty and justice for all

I agree with the line, "Held down too long but becoming strong". Oh, yes, Steven. We are becoming strong.

Love ya!

Liberty and justice for all. I like that phrase.
