Partisan Bickering
A Political Poem
The battle between right and left goes on
Ideological tensions increase
Partisan bickering will rage on
Until our debates about freedom cease
Two forms of freedom are really at stake:
Freedom from constraint or interference
And freedom to, of life, what we wish make
Both positions are worthy of defense
The right wishes to be left quite alone
To ruggedly face life’s myriad trials;
The left insists that the state can loan
The toothless the means to improve their smiles
The two can be moved to cooperate
Free from and free to, we can write our fate
