General Pride | | |
| | Liberty Symbolic | 
|
| On the pole atop, above,
a standard, banner heralds.
Waving, flapping spread by wind,
majestic in itself, representing liberty.
Rights to those who enjoy,
freedom, liberty, embodied.
Flying high, symbolic cloth waves,
respect of the premise, our flag salute.
Standing tall on Ellis Island,
the statute of our Lady Liberty.
Freedom's flame and dated book,
a tribute gift to depict our land of liberty.
Immigrants seeking rights,
opportunity availed by freedom.
Welcoming world's downtrodden,
adorned to remind all of our freedom.
Quietly setting no longer ring,
freedom's tocsin our Liberty Bell.
Quietly reminds with crack to proclaim,
price once paid yet still a price for liberty.
Ding, dong; hear the ring,
freedom, responsibility defends.
Liberty remains when we maintain,
and pay the continual cost for our liberty.
Tribute to the God of all,
freedom for each to worship.
From the alpha came our freedom,
on our value tokens, "In God We Trust". | By Roger W. Hancock
