So I was bored and wrote this after writing a paper
This is some sort of "found object" poetry, I'm sure it has a more dignified name that I do not know, but I was just screwing around and thought I'd try out this idea I had. This is untitled.
For the free society does not fear, it welcomes, diversity. It derives its strength from its hospitality even to antipathetic ideas. It is a market for free trade in ideas, secure in its faith that free men will take the best wares, and grow to a fuller and better realization of their powers in exercising their choice. - NSC 68: United States Objectives and Programs for National Security, April 7, 1950
Exercising their choice
For the free society does not fear
It is a market
Secure
Free men will take the best wares
Realization of their powers
And grow to antipathetic ideas
Secure in its faith
For the free society does not fear hospitality
It derives its strength
In exercising their choice
Secure is a free idea
The realization it welcomes
