A Double Etheree
Born
and bred
believing
duty binds us.
"Oh Say Can You See"
echoes to remind us.
Red, white and blue defines us.
Faintly the memory spoken;
blind led blind men fall into ditches.
Can any nation rise to rule the world
if its leaders cannot govern themselves?
Man's magnitude is not his riches.
The camel and the needle's eye
allocates no alibi.
Without wondering why—
we live and we die.
Long forgotten,
the Truth that
set us
free.
