We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as long as we remain honest--which will be as long as we can keep the attention of our people alive. IF they once BECOME INATTENTIVE to public affairs, you and I, and congress and assemblies, judges, and governors would all become wolves." Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
LETTING OUR LEGACY DIE
It is easy to become complacent, I know
As opportunities come more often than they go
But the wolves are always out there
Glaring eyes in a hungry stare
Waiting for the winds of dissension to blow
Americans have always had an edge, you see
Living lives of liberty
With freedom taken for granted now
The wolves bare their teeth with a menacing growl
Just waiting for their own opportunity
There have always been traitors among our own
Socialist tendencies for which they're prone
Infiltrating our government with campaign lies
And we are too gullible to scrutinize
They grow their government on testosterone
How far do we as people fall
Before someone picks up the ball?
Unquestioned trust will do us in
The overthrow is genuine
And we missed it written on the wall
Too late the reality is in store
In tears the people have shown remorse
But our legacy has forever died
And now the people's hands are tied
The Constitution is no more
