The fall of a Nation- Pride goeth before the fall,.. (I wrote it first in 1989) |
Arrogance,.. A nation, who's birth was a violent one, grown from oppression, was humble, when young. It stood up for itself, when faced with great might. All it wanted was the Freedom to be. But,on through the years, as it grew to an age, it turned arrogant,.. sure of it's strength. It demanded that all should agree to it's terms. Never seeing the resentment grow. Then, one day it stood, with it's fist in the air, proclaiming the world as it's own. Resentment turned rage. All converged on the one. They destroyed it, they laid it to waste. It had thought it was all. Yes,the greatest, it thought. but,in truth, it took too much for granted. In an ultimate snobbery, it forgot it's beginnings. and lost all it had gained, from it's birth. All turned their backs, on this Nation so great, which was now held in lowest regard. While it pranced in it's pride, it made such great mistakes, that it now saw it's falling from Grace. That Nation, you see,is us,.. you and me The home of the brave and the free. Our states arent united, we dont stand together, our heads should be hung down in shame. In the end, can we rise? Gather strength once again? Feel the deep love of Country, as before,.. or,alas,will it be that our fall is complete, and our shame's all that's left of our pride? Shall we cry out to God, bless America,Lord, let us raise our heads high, stand in strength? I truly hope so. Let us try,for to not, is to admit to a final Defeat. |
