A patriotic Poem
DECLARATION OF LIFE

SOME OF US FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
SOME OF US SIT AND COMPLAIN,
SOME STAND UP AND SAY "ENOUGH"
SOME RUN AND HIDE FROM THE HEAT OF THE FLAME.


WHILE SOME OF US WILL DIE, TO SAVE SO MANY LIVES.
A FEW OF US WILL STAY BEHIND, OBLIVIOUS TO THE SACRIFICE,
NEVER KNOWING WHERE TRUE HONOR LIES,
NEVER ABLE TO RECOGNIZE.


WHAT IT MEANS TO FLY THIS FLAG WITH PRIDE,
IT'S NOT JUST SOME COLORS, IT'S OUR WILL TO SURVIVE.
IT'S NOT JUST SOME RAG, IT'S OUR WAY OF LIFE.
IT HONORS SO MANY WHO HAVE GIVEN THIER LIVES,
WHO PICK IT BACK UP, SHOULD IT HIT THE GROUND IN A FIGHT.
WE DRAPE IT OVER HEROS, WHO SAY NO ONE HURTS YOU TONIGHT.


IT'S OUR MEMORY,
IT'S OUR SOAL,
IT’S OUR GUIDING LIGHT.


SO IT'S YOUR CHOICE TO HIDE OR FIGHT,
BUT REMEMBER THIS AS YOU DECIDE.


FREEDOM ISN'T FREE, IT COMES WITH A PRICE,
BUT THOSE WHO FLY OUR FLAG WITH PRIDE.


HAVE SIGNED A DECLARATION OF .......LIFE!
