Another Independence Day

Another Independence Day

We’re another year older now And, I wonder, what they’d say Those who wrote our Declaration For our Independence Day?

They have given us a giant debt Our children, will have to pay While making other countries rich With our jobs, they give away.

I bet they’re turning in their graves To see, where our Country’s going As we lose those hard won Freedoms And, as our apathy keeps growing.

The Communists control Almost, everything we buy Like the old “company store” While our treasury, they “shanghai”.

Our Government spies on us “Big brother”, has come here As they try to control us all With deception, lies, and fear.

Foreign oil controls the rest While we have technology To use, alternative sources To produce, our energy.

We have elected leaders(?) Who don’t care about our Nation Who give our Rights away In favor of, the corporation.

We have Federal agencies Who work for the lobbyists While people get sick, and die To protect, those larcenists.

They have us in another war Where we surely don’t belong And some say, “A hundred years” Would not be, too long.

Our World is on the brink Of a catastrophic end For, the sake of the dollar While we sit back, and pretend.

We have Troops coming home Who are living in the street As they seek, help and care From a system, they can’t beat.

No, I don’t think they’d be pleased Those Founders, of our Country They’d say, “We’re sure disappointed!” Of what, we’ve come, to be.

They give our treasury away To what, they call, “foreign aid” While we have hungry kids at home And students, who can’t make the grade.

Maybe it’s not too late, though If we try to mend our way And there’s no better time, than now On this, Independence Day!

Our roads and bridges are a mess Folks lose their homes to banks We have illegals getting a free ride Demanding more without, one, “Thanks!”
