Liz Cheney you are a true patriot
Fake patriots are “dime a dozen”
Egged on by a head-to-toe Fake
Fake patriots’ loyalty is misgiven

Clutching bible, strapping flags,
Holding gun, screaming slogans
Inciting violence, shouting profanities
Patriots? Nah just misguided hooligans

True patriots care more for their country
than their own power, their self-interest
They are prepared to defend it against
Enemies of all stripes, with unyielding zest

Liz, you put your career on the line
to defend your country’s values
You showed through your actions the
strength of your character and its virtues

You rose above the conviction less
Politicians, hungry for power at all cost
You refused to take the easy path
Sticking to principles, gained more than lost

I salute your bravery and your valor
You have become a political martyr
I am certain you will rise from the ashes
like phoenix, revitalized, in short order.

God bless America and the brave Americans who put their country first.

The concession speech* delivered by Liz Cheney on August 16, 2022 after she had been defeated in the primary for a House seat should be a required reading for school going children.
