In the Future - Looking back
to my sweet boys
Tragic isn't it They showed such promise This civilization From not so long ago
From what I've read They fought quite bravely To free themselves Little did they know
The freedom That they sought with passion The greed they once claimed Had to go
They soon embraced With no compassion The almighty dollar was All they seemed to know
Soon they began To destroy the families We MUST control them They'd often say
Priorities became Totally screwed up Corrupt beauracracies Ruled the day
And that mighty Nation Began to crumble No foundation To keep it strong
They destroyed what they Had fought so hard for What a shame They changed their Rights for wrong
Now all that's left Is this giant statue Mourning a nation From long ago
Standing so sadly Amidst the ruins If only her secrets We could know
She seems to be holding A torch in one hand I wonder what that Used to mean
Too bad that they chose To reject their values Who knows how strong They might have been
It's so sad to study These lost civilizations Lets hope we can learn From the mistakes they made
Should we ever choose To reject our values Our society Will also fade
We MUST value our children And treasure our families If we don't want to meet Their awful fate
It's a shame that they didn't Open their eyes For the USA It was too late!
