Voice of Freedom - 1/25/10 |

| “For generations and centuries I was contained In the hearts of all men, but never attained Until Christopher Columbus unknowingly found A new land in which I would, one day, abound So, one by one, ships sailed my way In search of my shores and a much brighter day The risk, it was high, but the reward so great For those who attempted to acquire my taste And with me was bred the spirit to fight And crush every threat to the God-given rights The pursuit of happiness, life, & liberty All men created equal, but there were no guarantees For, my blessings were reserved for those who toiled A bright future was paved on American soil I strengthened the spirit of those who rebelled And they stood their ground, some even fell But, with the stroke of a pen in 1776 America declared her independence Now, over 200 years have passed since that day And most take me for granted, it’s sad to say You’re children receive the fruits I provide Yet they don’t even know I came with a price So much blood was shed, protecting my name Now, before your eyes, I’m slipping away All it’ll take for me to be lost Is a spoiled generation, raised to be soft My enemy resides in a society That won’t acknowledge God, or responsibility So stand up with boldness, and proudly proclaim “Damn the aggressor, freedom will remain!” Just like your forefather’s had to do That is the calling I’ve required of you For I’m only as strong as the grip of your hand Holdin’ to the truths that built this great land With me, there is power, but as history suggests There will always be those who fight for my death You MUST battle ignorance with lessons from the past Because if you don’t, God knows, I won’t last.” Signed, Freedom.
