Hey guys, 

I recently had an assignment in class regarding society's expectations of people to fit into certain groups. The category I chose to write about was being a liberal. The American political system, ravaged by bipartisanship,  is advertised as the shining beacon of freedom throughout the entire world. In reality, it is only as empowering as the American people (liberals and conservatives) allow it to be. My poem both stresses the expectations of being a liberal by society and emphasizes the often hostile relationship between liberals and conservatives.
