America –
will never be destroyed from the outside
If we falter and lose our freedoms
it will be because we destroyed
ourselves
Lest we forget the heart marching for freedom
Lest we forget dear life that spilt blood
Lest we forget the nights of darkness
we will fall prey to fears untold
Lest we forget dark evil machinations
Lest we forget much relies on a thread
Lest we forget bold determination
our children will have much to dread
Lest we flippant discourteous of freedom
throw out the Liberty we have
fear that looms in the corners
on tyranny we will lay down our head
To all my fellow Americans I wish you a Happy 4th of July. And to those who served I proudly salute you!!!
