For my
grandsons, Aidan, Christopher and Nicholas
INDEPENDENCE DAY
We celebrate our Freedom
The fourth of each
July
Two hundred years and
counting
Do we ever wonder
why
Our soldiers keep on
dying
Dying for a lie
The senators and congress
Will tell us we are
free
How many can believe
this
As they
trample Liberty
How many see the
truth
About the criminals in
D.C.
Our losses keep on mounting
As the government steals our
homes
As taxes do deprive
us
Of everything we own
In their arrogance they tell
us
It's only yours on
loan
When we try to buy or sell
Without a REAL I.D.
They make our lives a living
hell
For daring to be
free
It's for the greater good they
say
National
Security
They track us everywhere we go
With high technology
From dedicated satellites
See all there is to
see
What about the Fourth
Amendment
What about our
privacy
They grab our guns, disarming us
How can we stand and
fight
How can we defend
ourselves
From invaders in the
night
Or from the thugs in
government
Who say we have no
right
If we argue with a cop
Or question his
authority
He might zap us with a
taser
If we do not bend a
knee
If we stand up for our
Freedom
And challenge
tyranny
They may lock us up
in jail
And throw away the
key
If we can't protect our borders
How can we stem the
tide
Of freeloading
illegals
In search of a free
ride
When we protest against this
outrage
The government takes their
side
The psychobabbling liberals
Crusade for
sodomites
Minorities and
perverts
They say have special
rights
The offenders now are
Christians
Who witness for the
Lord
Hate crimes will condemn
us
For speaking God's Truth
and Word
What happened to the Rule of Law
It vanished in the
night
While Americans were
sleeping
Not putting up a
fight
The tyrants laugh behind our
backs
For them it's Might makes
Right
How long will this continue
How much more can we
take
How many of us
realize
Exactly what's at
stake
What will we be doing
On Independence Day
Will we stand up for our
Freedom
Or let traitors have their
way
Will we just succumb to tyranny
As they pillage, rape and
burn
As they steal our children's
future
And our grandchildren's in
turn
Or will we fight for Liberty
And set our country
free
Will we cower before
tyrants
Or shout, Don't Tread on
Me!
