Life

Taken from the sons in Afghanistan,

the brothers in Vietnam,

the fathers in the Pacific

Liberty

Demolished by Big Brother

masquerading as the Patriot Act

The Pursuit of Happiness

Possible, that is, if one can hurdle roadblocks of racism,

traverse crumbling schools,

and cross seas of poverty and sickness

But maybe these three lies

can be fixed and warped into

three great truths
