THE FALL OF AMERICA

I think it began sometime after the two New York towers fell.

At least back then, America was more like a team,

trying to prove our freedom as one.

Somehow since then,

It feels like its all falling apart.

Somewhere along the line,

Many politicians have started to lose their heart.

A recession has taken toll on many lives and businesses.

Ma and Pa shops are closing,

small towns are fighting to keep their faith.

Somewhere along the line, God has been lost in their hearts too.

Families are becoming grief-stricken with the loss of jobs

and applying for government assistance to try to stay afloat.

Before we know it,

That ship too will have sailed, and we will lose that also in the fleeing boat.

Unemployment lines are growing long and dim.

Whatever happened to that bright smile of freedom?

Are we really going to let those heartless greedy politicians win?

Years ago as a child, I had the American dream.

There was so many things that I wanted to be.

And now, I fear for that dream for my child today...

Will she get to be all that she can be?

I pray every night to God,

with all of my heart and might.

Please let their be a light at the end of the tunnel...

Take those politicians to Oz,

Dear God, give them a heart.

Americans need to come together,

be that team that they once were

when that sad day of the towers fell.

If we could remember some of that strength we had then,

Maybe we could fight for what we still believe in.

Or has it finally happened,

That America has given up?

What ever happened to that dream...

What about our veterans who fought for our freedom?

Certainly there are still a handful of us that care

The pull down of the American flag, is a sight that I can't hardly bare...

Its true, many of us now find ourselves sitting at home,

perhaps wondering how we are going to pay our next bill,

or where our food is coming from.

But the time is now...

Our freedom is at stake,

Our children...they still deserve that heartfelt dream.

With God on our sides, we can be a powerful mighty team.

I know some of you might be afraid--

and that's okay,

But those Americans in the past-

they didn't fight for just nothing...

They fought for their families,

and a future for us...

It's time we begin to raise the American flag high...

Raise it up for tomorrow's future...

Because forever more,

It's always been,

IN GOD WE TRUST
