The Power of Freedom


Those who wrote the law full of special holes riddled with exceptions Their money flows their hands reach They claim power but natural rights they cannot bend. This inherent power fought for with the blood of many won with the courage of the stubborn throughout the ages frees all from subjection Paper chains of heavy iron burned. Unnatural restraints lifted. Arms outstretched and hands held open embracing decisions of import and the simple We have the right to make. The future is Ours full of opportunity Our hands, minds, souls free to make our dreams reality.
