Freedom comes at a cost.

Image via Wikipedia

Freedom…

Comes at  a cost;

By a war, won or lost

Armed paper and pens

Or through a camera lens.

Freedom…

Comes at a cost;

Bravery on the souls embossed

No matter the color of your face

Your land, country or race

Freedom…

Comes at a cost;

No history book can gloss

The sacrifice of a loved one

Their memory can not be undone.

Freedom…

Comes at a cost;

No battlefield is uncrossed

What have you taken?

What have you given?
