What Freedom Requires? Poem by Tom Zart

What evil plots for our demise
Integrity transforms to good.
Committing acts that give us peace
Teach us to respond, as we should.

Sometimes it's best to go against the flow
Questioning what our shepherds may say.
They're not God, only mortals
And for their truthfulness, we pray.

By faith we strive to protect and fulfill
Keeping ourselves entire and whole.
Avoiding human hate and mistrust
While struggling to preserve our soul.

Those who swear at what's just and moral
Will not hear heaven's answer to their cry.
Any who pray to earn their blessings
Must not steal, persecute or lie.

The power of faith helps us overcome
Bowing in fear to our enemies desires.
By serving our purpose we make God proud
Performing what freedom requires!
