Only when liberty can be abused does she walk our streets.
a darkening flag upon the steps wound the sky, with desecration. Our children honor the valient dead with burning stripes and dying stars. Some say it's time for a useless law, maybe an amendment enforcing civility. I cannot cheer conflicted interest Nor defend my heart from license. Ignite my dreams with your liberty. Make a pyre of my pride. This is being free.
