Freedom runs deep.
Ernesto L Vasques Sr. 1972 (Newark)
Freedom runs deep within ,
For I was born a citizen.
With liberties most people crave,
Since they are not born in the USA.
Ow sweet it is our liberty that most just take for granted.
The freedom of speech that was granted me,
And most times it's a disaster.
For what I say falls at deaf ears and leaves me fablagasted.
So many fought for what I speak and still it brings
some laughter.
I must object when people say that I was wrong with what I said .
This is my right as citizen and no one can lecture me.
For I was born in the USA the land that freedom gives.
