What Breaks My Heart
: Freedom Isn't Free by fm wright
Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry

Freedom really isn't free;

Rather, it can be quite costly.

Everyone who dreams of it

Expectantly must do their bit:

Dedicating themselves to laws;

Otherwise committed to cause.

Many have given their all,



In answering liberty's call,

Sought to give only their best.

Now some have been laid to rest.


Those who haven't have still paid



For the battles that were waged.

Rent have been limbs or sanity,

Ensuring freedom thus shall be,

Even unto eternity.







































































































 

Author Notes
A reminder to myself of what liberty costs, least I forget.
