The First Amendment
The words in the great manuscript seem to have been forgotten,
Such order, such brilliance, such patriotism.
We all claim that we still follow the rules,
But times have changed and so have people.
Have we lost our intent to treat others justly?
Have we chosen the common path?
Have we decided to cast tolerance aside,
For our own biased belief?
Perhaps there are some that still are aware
That what we say, do, and think matter.
But how many truly know
That everything we cast aside,
Comes back and mourns for its sad and broken purpose?
There are times when we make mistakes,
When we judge instantaneously.
But how can we know
Why they believe
What they believe?
This undying question
Will forever burn on Earth.
So, because it is here to stay,
Let’s decide to be the one
To change.
