What were their words
When they left the king?
Life
Liberty
Happiness pursuits
Sometimes we forget
This intention
Of light
I know they forgot
Half the nation
At least
But insert yourself
Into the Meaning
You deserve
Freedom
Equality
Rights
Your crown is yourself
Now be free

This is so beautiful! And the photo complements perfectly. This line made me go back and read a couple of times – insert yourself into the meaning. It speaks to me of the need to become part of something heart and soul. And the way you have switched up the words – life, liberty, happiness pursuits – that is brilliant. A wonderful ode to freedom at a great time.
Thank you so much Francis!
