saving sweet liberty

the sacred poem
of the constitution
eternally balances
the yin & yang
of power

as protections
against autocracy,
despotism & tragic
megalomania.

it is the echoing
ring of freedom
between the stars,
between the earth &
the hearts
of human kind.

except for the vigilance
of such benevolent law––

government of, by & for
the people shall forever
perish from
the earth.
