It is the Fourth of July here in the United States, the day we celebrate our independence and freedom. So I decided to write a poem about freedom. And I’ve linked it over at dVerse Poets Pub for Open Link Night #51.
The Cost of Freedom
Freedom is never free
It costs the life
of scared young men
who fight to keep it
Reviled by pacifists
who believe evil
will simply pass them by
Freedom is never free
It requires the shedding
of blood, injury and death
because evil never stops
and it desires to
enslave us all
Freedom is never free
It cost the life
of God’s own Son
who died to give it
Reviled by the anti-religious
who believe evil
will simply pass them by
Freedom is never free
It required the shedding
of blood on the cross
because the devil never stops
and he desires to
enslave us all
