You gave us, Mother,
on an illustrious day
long, long ago
The Right to JUSTICE
social, economic and political
The Right to EQUALITY
of status and of opportunity
You promised us FRATERNITY
you assured us
the dignity of the individual.
Most importantly, you gave us
The Right to LIBERTY
of thought, expression, belief,
faith and worship.
Dear Mother,
Are some of your daughters and sons
more equal than the rest?
Why, then,
you forgot to give us
the dearest
of all liberties, that of
Love?
