Freedom
What word be this that the will of man be like iron. This word, which be embraced. Yet to those that would fear it; wish to destroy that which is held dear. Fools do they not know of the iron that protects the beauty of this single word. Still time and again those that seek to destroy, fail. Why then do they wish it, only to destroy that which be held so tightly; that none can break it. Yet they still come; seeking that word with its beauty real. For they lack the liberty to do as they wish. They may not speak; for fear they stand silent. In this their country the word whispered but never spoken. How can one speak of justice that lives in fear; for this word protects them not. From sea to sea they come seeking to embrace but a single word. That one word whispered or shouted means the same to all. To choose who and what we shall; to pray as one wishes, to laugh or cry; be ours to rejoice for this one word, Freedom...
