FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE!
Freedom is never free!
Countless lives were sacrificed
For your, and my liberty.
Voices of fathers, brothers, uncles,
Friends and lovers too
Are now silenced forever
So that we, I, you
May be free to live
In city, town, or village.
North, South, East,West.
Each decides where to stake a claim.
This right was earned by those whose names
Are written on walls, scrolls, and paper.
All made the ultimate sacrifice;
Each must be remembered
For the role played in gaining
Our freedom by
Relinquishing their own!
Freedom is never free!
This poem is written for and dedicated to all of the fallen soldiers across the wars, and for loved ones left behind to mourn them. It is further dedicated to those brave fighting men and women who were spared, but whose lives are forever changed in some way as a result of their involvement.
