"A Mockingbird named Patrick"
To Kill a Mockingbird, you take away it's flight.
Now that you have it grounded, you relinquish it's Right.
It starts to recognize, the recourse is to fight.
It looks to the 'courage of Scopes', to bring it's cruelty to light.
Now it's time to 'Amend', what was given, as it was 'meant',
Starting with the 1st, all the way to the 10th.
It is now unafraid, because it feels it's life is spent.
It demands use of it's wings, or be allowed, to be Heaven sent.
A Man once said, "Give me liberty, or give me death".
And He meant to have it, till His last dying breath.
We have this thing, called The Constitution,
that has been used and abused, like a victim of prostitution.
You either respect all, or you respect none.
You can not pick and choose, or you destroy Liber-a-tion.
So next time you demand your views, as law, or safe & sound.
you crumble a building's foundation, letting it fall to the ground.
