Freedom! Is To Serve (Poem) Poem by Dave Tanguay

Why must we resort to war, when we meet resistance?
Does war give us that much greater assistance?
Our politicians will use the word evil, when they speak of our foe
But our foe, prays to God they yearn for a longing to know

We are told we must fight for our country, and keep it strong.
Let’s face it; we all have our own sense of right and wrong
Freedom is only a word used by tedious politicians
To Americans, freedom has always brought about a coalition

Certainly, politicians are free, with their positions, wealth, and
Fame
To them freedom is personal, a whole new ballgame
I believe I speak for all of humankind, when I say, “freedom is
To serve”
To serve requires love, - This is what must be preserved.

E nlighten us and show us the way
N o way, - are we to be led astray
E choes from the cries of yesterday’s heroes
M en who played the part of lonely desperados
Y oung are in search of a world united by love

“Love you’re ENEMY were the words spoken from the
One up above”
