What is the price of freedom?
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Just because
Stars and Stripes
Doesn’t set my heart going faster
Am I a traitor?

Just because
I do not adore
The country of my birth
Am I a bad person?

Does my politics
Really define who I am?
Does that make me
Inferior?

Just because
I love
The Union Jack
I am still a patriot

Though maybe not
How those in
America would see it
I still love a country

Don’t tell me
I’m going against
What my family
Fought so hard to achieve

Look around you,
Do you think
The Founding Fathers
Wanted a government based on lies?

Is the ‘Land of the Free’
So free?
Is the ‘Home of the Brave’
So brave?

Is it right
That so many people
Long to be here
Yet feel unwelcome?

I trust you
To make a decision
To elect the leader of
Our country

But will this country
Be here when
My children
Are my age?

Think about it
We may be young
But we are not
Without opinion

We see what’s happening
We see where this is going
We see that we are crumbling
We see our vulnerability

Listen to the children
We know of what we speak
We’re not oblivious
As you all seem to be
