above this one. Thanks!!
Remembering all that has been
done to keep us free,
The blood that was shed to
protect those who lived in other countries,
The men and women who sacrificed
all,
So we could remain true to the
vision of our Founding Fathers call,
I find myself saddened more than
I thought I would ever be,
Because the America I knew,
Is slipping away from me.
I wonder how much longer we can
go on,
When the politically correct
agenda uses 'love speak' to undo all that was done,
We were the 'Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave,'
Where nothing was handed to
anyone,
But opportunity 'that great
equalizer' of everyone who came,
Gave each person a chance,
To respond to freedoms call,
To strive…to become.
Now we are told we must have
'Fairness' in our land,
Yet each person is different,
And it is our differences that
made this nation 'Grand.'
Watch out for those who want you
to be like everyone else.
For when people are all the
same, no one matters,
Because sameness breeds
contempt,
People are interchangeable,
A great nation cannot long
survive the mediocrity of sameness,
Where there is no personal drive
to overcome,
To make a mark, to find the
answers to questions others have not asked.
If you are reading this and it
sounds like nonsense to you,
Hurry while there is still time
for you to become the person you were meant to be,
Before you yield your life to
someone else's ideal,
There is still time for you to
discover what is really real,
And when you do please speak up
because we need your voice,
For when many individuals who
chose to find a way,
To come together in peace and
accord things can be resolved, restored,
So on this Veterans Day,
Please join me as I pray that
this 'Nation under God' find its way.
Amen
