Replying to a comment on:

O say, can you see? (Free verse) by Dovina

Have you seen, by the dawn’s early light, a margin for error, bounded and spared, on one side tyranny, the other disorder, a space in between where deep need and deep sorrow are less than before, while health and right reach historical height, and viewing it asked, if more expectation’s a high form of madness? A margin for freedom, a margin for error, a space worth the cost, some soldiers thought, And shared in the suffering chose mercy, not life. So pop that cracker, suspend the fight, enjoy the margin, and sparkle the night.

Nice job there, D. I think you should take the "pop that cracker" line and turn it into a rap song.
