The Question?
Do the Stars and Stripes yet wave in the
land of the free or is it dropped at half mast,
forever to be
Are our days of glory just dust in the wind,
wars we fight but no longer seem to win
Troubles in our land that used to be
so grand, to apathy, taxes and sin
The once all might dollar, now
hardly worth enough to pay the barber
The statue of Liberty, the Golden
Gate and our Southwest borders
have they sealed our fate
Do our enemies within smirk and grin
as they wait to bomb our cities once again
Have we given away our sovereignty to
illegal aliens, Firth Columnist, poverty,
gloom and strife
Questions that will have to be answered
by our Grandchildren's hard earned life!
