Margins

 

Need we have margins

straight as they be

lines of our limits

defined boundaries

 

Restricted spacing

that seeks to impede

squeezed between margins

with less opportunity

 

Let us instead be

boundless and free

with limitless freedom

where men can succeed

 

Margins confine us

to conformity

freedom becomes us

our margin of victory.

What makes men pick
dictatorship
best to elect
and freedom select!
