I LIKE FREEDOM

I like freedom, but not all the way
but not whatever you wish to do or say

I define freedom in this way:
marry whom you want, unless they're gay

I like freedom but only in moderation
extreme freedom endangers our nation

I believe what's yours of course is yours
unless it's needed by the growing poors

You can of course smoke all you wanna
but not marijuana

The government can draft you if we want you to fight
freedom is not always an inalienable right

We tax your money when you buy
or if you save it till you die

Your house is your treasured piece of Earth
but we can take it for half its worth

I like freedom sometimes suspended
Isn't that what the Founding Fathers intended?

I like freedom, I didn't say love
that should be clear from all the above
