Liberal…its True Essence Poem by Stanley Cooper

Favoring progressive reform
Is the historical liberal norm
Characterized by broad-mindedness
Belief in racial color-blinded-ness
Ardently anti-authoritarianism
But not for the sake of contrarian-ism
Protectors of everyone’s civil rights
With concerned awareness and oversights
Blatant orthodoxy all around
Liberals reject as being unsound

“Liberal” didn’t shed its true meaning
Why is it tagged with labels demeaning?
Those who have placed it in full disrepute
Find liberal thought hard to refute

So damn it some will, to further their goals
To gain more power in political roles
Liberals rise up to reactionary be-witchery
End this propagandized bitchery
