/// Several founders of our nascent nation
set about to write the Declaration
which would set us all free
from top-down tyranny
and of Liberty, form the foundation.
/// But, back then they just meant rich white guys,
not those others that many despise.
Still, they had the foresight
to create ways we might
expand freedoms. (Or lose them.) Surprise!!!
