Sam and Liberty had always been a couple
Everyone loved them, it was a perfect match
Liberty was so happy, for Sam cherished her
But in time, things changed
Sam didn't come around much anymore
Liberty heard rumors
He was sleeping with a new lady
Her name was Lady Greed
And it was said no man could look away
Once in her grasp
Sam started hanging with a bad crowd
Bunch of really sleezy types
They told Sam all about "us and them"
They loved playing a game
Called power and money
Liberty never could figure out how to play
It didn't make sense
Everyone always lost, no matter what
She only saw Sam at special occasions
He'd say all the right words to her
But when she sought his eyes
They were dead inside
Liberty was sad
But she knew who she was
And why she was here
And so
She kept on doing her thing
Without Sam
She had to believe
That in time Sam would find his way again
She couldn't bear to think
That he could die
Without ever figuring out
Why he chased such empty things
Hurting others, the land and her creatures, and himself with his selfish obsessions
This last possibility
Broke Liberty's heart
For no matter what he had done
She knew Sam's soul
And he was good, at heart
And so she kept on with her work
Teaching unity, respect and compassion
And the dignity of every person
And she prayed every day
That Sam would come to his senses
Liberty always believed in those that she loved
Even when they were hurtful, or did not understand
When it hurt she just kept doing her work
She wiped her tears and kept going
Some days hope was harder to find than others
But she never gave up
