Our Former Strength, Gone

The quote is from MIKE PENCE, American Politician born 1959.

"Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh."

OUR FORMER STRENGTH, GONE

Powerful as we had been in the eyes of the world

Respect rose in unison as the stars and stripes unfurled

Those who tried to oppose us became the ones defeated

Bold attacks like Pearl Harbor will never be repeated

Strong as we had been with leaders who would not back down

Admirals and generals with courage in the war room all around

Fear rose up in the enemy when our boots were on the ground

Has it come to but a whisper, our most intimidating sound?

As we hail a yellow leader who breaks bread with all the stars

Plays a round of golf or two, barely breaking par

He won't put the blame on terrorist for who knows whatever reason

Media will protect him for his wanton acts of treason

Weak now that we are in the eyes of the world

Stars and stripes are burned the moment they're unfurled

Christianity becomes a target and Jihad a fact of life

Our leaders protect the very ones who cause the world strife

Executive priority is to cover up the blunders that prevail

Lies escape their spokesmen each time that they exhale

Weak is our economy, in size our government grows

How much more can we be regulated? Anybody knows

Half of our population survive on public doles

Taxation and unemployment have put the middle class in holes

Obamacare has our heath care as critical at best

The war on Christianity leaves fewer of us blessed

Indoctrination permeates our youth in all our schools

But what the heck the liberal set think our president is cool

The rise of terror grows and the president denies it

Let's hand him one big kite and encourage him to fly it
