Liberal or Conservative

I opened up the dictionary
To see liberal and I did find
“One who’s open to change”
“And Keeps an open mind”

As I read farther
Exposing some of the clues
“Favoring reform or progress”
“And tolerant of other’s views”

As I read even farther
The explanation just went
“A person advocating freedom
For individuals by our government”


Then for conservative
The same question I did ask
“One who’s afraid of change”
And wants’ to live in the past”
