Freedom

Freedom

 

The standard we hold true shall not falter.

It is who we are and not just, what we are.

 

We are this flag, held by a common belief that all men and women are held to the same standard and expect that each of us conduct them ourselves to that same standard.

Indivisible; we have become a nation that is divided.

How then can we stand in front of the world and claim we are right?

 

Justice; how can we have justice when our own justice has been so skewed by politics that it cannot even see it’s self.

 

And justice for all.

For all; this is as much my country as much as it is yours (Red Skelton).

 

I do not know what you believe in but for me these are some of the words that freedom has risen from, or at least I hope.

This is true. Freedom is a great thing too bad it seems we are all not that free. Great poem.

Thank you and I agree that not every one is free.

Your words ring with patriotism as they remind us how we are each a part of what we call freedom!
Yes, we are this flag and who we are and what we believe defines the whole of us! We must not allow the standard to falter - we must remain united!
