They Are Making It Poem by Peter S. Quinn

They are making it
Coming true
Democracy
This wonderful year
And now it is
Up to you
If its shall be close
And dear

The wonderful
Those are right
And follow
The rules thereby
To give freedoms
Justice flight
And reach
To compromises high

The days
Were days of longing
For something
To be made
Tomorrow should never
Be wronging
Or of what we were
Once afraid

For freedom
Is here for us all
To give it
And sow to the earth
The rules of ignorance
Shall fall
For liberties song
Of its worth

So much is still
Marked by wrong
But we are building
The bridges
That will make every
Abutment strong
Where the piers
Needed their stitches

Our world is
Of smooth and rough
In all its
Contrasting grade
Sometimes we get
Away with a bluff
That we have some
Jointly made
