Default Mean-spirited Right-wing poetry...

It's a tongue-in-cheek thing....

The Left is notorious for labeling all Conservative positions as "Mean-spirited"...

Most of my some-odd-dozen poems are of a patriotic theme... and to me, conservative in nature...

So by the Left's logic, they are inherently mean-spirited.

Example: the following is about the First Amendment of the Connie.

Ratified as ?First?

Congress on notice, a bold warning penned down,
State Church a punisher! Didn?t you learn from that Crown?

Make no law establishing such folly to arise,
Oh how history taught our Founders to be so wise.

?Make no law?, was fought for as key,
For even elected representatives, can deny blessed Liberty.

Freedom of Speech, so sublime and yet ironic,
Words straight from God, or simply demonic.

Allow spoken word, or suffer history?s mess,
Secure this on parchment, via the free press.

How can Freedom live if human assembly denied?
Arguments for truth; Have Governments ever lied?

Redress of Grievances so too were provided,
Government designed and built, must always remain divided.
