Freedom's Stance




Freedom's Stance

FREEDOM!
What a beautiful thought
that we have taken so for granted
As we watch the enemy burn our flag
and "Down with America they have chanted."
We stand amazed and in shock
as their hatred is unleashed
Upon an unsuspecting people
this has been released.
We have accepted them among us
into our land and in our home
Not realizing for a moment
that thru ashes we would comb...
For any part of a loved one
we might be able to find
Among the rubble and debris
they have left behind.
So now I ask you one and all
what shall be our stance?
Will America, the land of the free
give this enemy another chance?
No, we have to stand United
against those that would destroy
For this is the Land of Freedom
and is our pride and joy!
