Truly Free

Liberty is not free.

It takes people like you and me.

Though we may sometimes disagree,

Our life is meant to be lived free.

Do not stay quiet when evil has a spree.

Stand against the shadow, even when we don’t agree.

Do not give into the urge to flee.

Whether your fight is taking a knee,

Or raising your voice to the next degree,

Fight for liberty from sea to shining sea.

Only then will we be truly free.

Stronger, A Little Longer

I wanted to live a little longer.

I wanted to pray a little harder.

If only I were a little stronger.

I might have inflamed my ardor.

I’m dying a little more every day.

This is the lasting, final chapter

I have many words to say.

Silence is no longer my captor.

If only I were a little stronger.

I could have lived a little longer.

Tribute

This is my tribute.

This is my soul.

I rise just to die.

I fall just to lie.

My open love,

Is met with a shove.

Rejected.

Dejected.

Ejected.

I rise just to die.

I fall just to lie.

This is my tribute.

This is my soul.
