The True Essence Of Liberal Poem by Stanley Cooper

Our historical liberal norm
Aspires to progressive reform
Ardently against dictatorial dominance
With allegiance to free thinking prominence

Concerned awareness and oversights
Protects all of our civil rights
Intrusive orthodoxy all around
Liberals reject as wholly unsound

So, damn it some will, to further their goals
To gain more power in political roles
Liberals stand up to reactionary witchery
To end this propagandized brain-washing bitch-ery

The word liberal holds true to its noble meaning
Why is it tagged with labels demeaning?
Those who have placed it in full disrepute
Find liberal thought hard to refute

To defile liberal as a four-letter word
A put-down, blatantly false and absurd
Our country, founded by heroes upright
For freedom of thought, with liberal foresight
