The Scale Of Liberty Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

The Scale of Liberty
by Mai Venn

She was lying in an Irish hospital on a trolley;
It was hours before the old age pensioner was seen.
That is not the way you treat any human being!
"Blame it on the cutbacks! " I heard someone say.
While others say, "this is happening every single day".
"What are we doing about it? " A young woman yells.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing", a middle-age man tells.
Our country is failing its people in every way,
It's getting worse for the disadvantaged day by day,
They are waiting for someone to stand up and fight,
Wake up all you dreamers and put on the light.
Get real and don't be a fool, it's a two-tier dimension.
For, the scale of Liberty, look to God for a lasting redemption!
