The Eagle Has To Pray
 
A nation carried on the backs
Of  brave warriors laid to rest
Needs to kneel in memoriam
In honor of their country’s best. 

 Many soldiers would be shocked
To see things they fought for stray
So far from God and Country
That the Eagle has to pray.
 
If the flag still stands for freedom,
Then why must it be a shame
To show it off on a lapel pin
Or to hang it in a frame?
 
Every flagpole in America
Should be flying colors proud.
She’s a symbol of the USA...
She should stand out in a crowd!
 
She went before George Washington
All the way to Viet Nam.
She flew in fervor in Iraq...
 So ardent in Afghanistan.
 
Once being an American
Meant belonging to a nation
Whose money read “In God We Trust”
And really meant that declaration.
 
 Being politically incorrect
Doesn’t carry too much weight...
But can the scales be balanced
In total fairness here of late?
 
Patriotic people like myself
Never thought we’d see the day
   When we'd slip so far away from God 
 That the Eagle has to pray!
