Frank E Gibbard Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The track to obtain human right Is a long march and a marathon. Will the tape ever be breasted by Those who aspire not perspire in Pursuit of their particular race? There are no medals to be won In this contest except one prize Valued far beyond gold: freedom.

Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 interesting concept to talk about frank. as long as we have laws we are not completely free. but without respect we have no honor or dignity for others and we walk over others honor and dignity everyday. to me avoiding respect takes away from freedom even more then manmade laws. i enjoyed your oem. it made me reflect and think deeply and heavily about humanitairn rights civil rights etc... larsen Quote Larsen M.

Aleksandra Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The track to obtain human right Is a long march and a marathon. Very good start in this nice poem with good subject Frank Especially I like the ending part. It's very wise, deep and moving There are no medals to be won In this contest except one prize Valued far beyond gold: freedom. Yes there are no medals - freedom is one of the best dreams of this humanity through the centuries Much enjoyed in this read.
