Pride

Pride

It is more than just a parade
On patriotic days
It is more about the feeling
And living the American way
It is more about the pride
You see in a soldier's eyes
When they don the uniform they choose
And at last they realize
"I serve my country as a soldier
Because of my country I am proud
And when the flag goes up the pole
My salute is almost loud
It's not the shiney medals
Or ribbons on my chest
It's not that I am one of many
Who have strived to pass the test
It's because I am an American
I was born as one with pride
And never shall I decry it
Or try to run and hide
If I'm called to active duty
With honor I will serve
It's the least I can do for freedom
It's what American's deserve
And if someday I am called to stand
To uphold our Constitution
I'll fight with every breath I have
to insure our institution"

PleaseWake Me

I am hoping it was not just a horrible dream
and I awoke to find me here
where a goverment is claiming all my rights
where my freedom's light passes into night
Has it gone while my back was turned?
Have we taken too much for granted
That our American values would always be there?
Did we let a stalker sneek inside
To steal away with American pride
Please, God, please tell me this is only a cruel hoax
Can this we are living now
Be a horror movie we are watching on TV
Will the channel be there to change?
This is all so very strange.
How can an American be living in such fear?
I 've been taught about the American dream
Where anyone can grow up to be president.
But how did we not choose the best
Where are the patiots that would pass the test
Please,God, don't take my freedom from me.

Honor or Lost Words

Honor or Lost Words?

Hear him loud
Hear him clear
His voice rings boldly
In your ear
The fool's heart beats
Right on his tongue
If people listen
His deeds are done
Hear the words
That so inspire
Hear the wisdom
Feel the fire
A wise man's voice
Comes from his heart
That's what will set
Good men apart

So Little, Too Much

So Little, Too Much

It is a documented fact
A tiny leak can work a crack
Until waters behind a mighty dam
Wreak havoc on this sacred land

A single match in someone's care
Can start a flame while we're unaware
He'll stoke the fires and destroy the trees
Aided by a steady breeze

A silver tongue can lull the crowd
It need not be too strong and loud
His power hungry comrades there
Will quietly install the agendas they share

It's not too hard to plant a seed
That he has exactly what people need
For hard times wash a people's brain
And promises are all that remain

Ads by Quigo: "Vampires

Of wars this country has been involved
They are nothing compared to what has evolved
From within our own government we've met deceit
And our faith in our future is incomplete

Control has been their main focus
As campaign promises proved vastly bogus
The banks, the industry, the insurance they've taken
As capitalism has been forsaken

Enemies abroad are easily seen
You'd expect our own, their hands be clean
But they take each bite of freedom's bread
And into Socialism our country is led

Our states were meant to be our strength
There will be federal control at any length
We must stand up at any cost
Before every ounce of freedom is lost

Wounds don't need to ooze and bleed
When impaled by spears of power and greed
As democracy is dragged through proverbial mud
They'll drain of us dry of freedom's blood

Beware of the silent enemy within
Who smiles and pretends to be your friend
With promises of wealth and their protection
They are vampires with no reflection

We Cannot Sit Idle

Our actions seal our fate
We must act before it's too late
If we are weary of our government
It's time for our combined involvement

The country is ours, defend it
The Constitution? We can amend it
Government? We can't control it?
Then it's time to overthrow it.

Changes can be made without guns and knives
When it comes to reclaiming democratic lives
En mass we need to take the reins
and restore what little freedom remains
