The tree of liberty <br />Thirsts again <br />She stands <br />In parched soil <br />Drought has fallen <br />Upon her <br />Dust gathers <br />On her limbs <br />Free men gather <br />To water <br />Her roots <br />And bring her <br />Life giving sustenance <br /> <br />' The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ' Thomas Jefferson<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tree-90/
