Oppression Depression

Oppression Depression

Tentacles reaching in from every direction

Invading your homes with the ruse of inspections

Filling their coffers with fines from your lacking

For their own enrichment more taxes they're stacking

Government growing in size to control us

Multiplying arms to quietly subdue us

More and more rights are lost as we sleep

Less and less earnings they allow us to keep

Why do we allow them to intrude so completely?

Are you going to continue to let them defeat thee?

When will you question your money they burned?

How much liberty is lost until your lessons are learned?

Hero's All Who Understand

Heroes All Who Understand

A hero need not be those revered

Set on pedestals and cut in stone

They are heroes all, behind the scenes

Who are a part of the liberty we have known

Lonely wives with husbands abroad

Fighting wars against tyranny

Motherless children who lost the arms

Of mothers who died with dignity

Parents of children they nurtured and held

Only to send them off to war

A sister of a brother who protected her

Who enlisted and she will see no more

All are heroes in the cost of freedom

Who loneliness and loss are their sacrifice

As are all Americans cheering wars we won

Who support the real heroes we idolize

Heroes are those who will understand

The scars and loss that come with war

They are the ones who will extend their heart and hand

To our selfless veterans for evermore
