Freedom

Freedom - Belen Rivera (St. Mary School, Seventh Grade)

A testimony to comradery, bravery, and hope 

Through which the ambitions of past, present and future generations are built upon

The spark of the future’s dreams 

The root of all we strive for and aspire to accomplish 

A blueprint for greatness? 

A quality that rouses the next peoples to make a difference

A framework for anarchy? 

An empowering of political and social chaos 

A foundation for development? 

An inclining nature that never ceases to energize the pioneers of creativity 

An exemplar that true freedom is unattainable? 

Always out of reach to even those most worthy 

The trailblazers of our great nation 

True embodiments of the outreach and authority that freedom encourages 

Giving us the precise manner to build our own nations 

Nations that provide sanctuary for personal beliefs and values 

All set upon the noble path of our forefathers 

Permitted by the limitless construct of freedom

It is a relentless fire that never dies

Always persisting in the face of oppression

As we unite in our pursuits of curiosity

 Our accomplishments use the liberties of independence 

Inspiring ages of humans to innovate our world 

Thereby creating a new society that understands the vitality of freedom
