It's In Front Of You

Welded to the thought that I'm free,

Sanctimonious Though it be.

Nothing is assured in this life-

Constitution not withstanding.

 

With the stroke of a pen you see,

The end of liberty can be tossed.

O say it will never be true ;

No gurantee it won't be lost.

 

The tree of freedom will not bloom,

If its foundation is cut away.

Can someone be sawing right now,

At liberties last holy day?

Like a death with no hope

Aye and we know who is sawing away at it...
Pitiful to say the least...
Freedom is not blooming anymore as all rights
are being taken away...

in God's name I hope not...
I cannot even imagine the horror
of losing freedom & becoming caged
by a greedy governmental power...
