day NINE HUNDRED and FORTY SIX


Freedom

has no
purpose
it's laughed
at in
the halls
of it's
high school
it's left
at the
altar it's
tired and
overworked
it's ordered
with a
side
of french
fries it's
lost in
foreign countries
in the
pockets of
dead soldiers
it's taken
away like
computer privileges
and when
it puts
guns in
the hands
of cowards
it sends
parents to
the graves
of their
children
sends husbands
into churches
wives into
rehab
while most
of us
just sit
glued to
the TV
unable 
to look
away.
