“Flaming Liberal”

Hair afire 
eyes ablaze  
bleeding heart worn on my sleeve  
believing in changing my world  
one deed at a time  
hands open in kindness  
soul accepting alternatives  
mind embracing the strength of diversity  
Hair afire  
eyes ablaze  
bleeding heart worn on my sleeve  
expecting chivalry and honor  
even among the thieves  
hands sustaining the destitute  
soul offering them hope  
mind implementing the strategies of success   
Hair afire  
eyes ablaze  
bleeding heart worn on my sleeve  
acknowledging the flaws   
within the order  
hands mending the tears  
soul nursing lost courage  
mind deciphering the woes of our world  
Hair afire  
eyes ablaze  
bleeding heart worn on my sleeve  
ignoring taunts and insults  
from conformists  
hands reaching for harmony  
soul seeking tolerance  
mind exploring multiple paths for our destiny
