You say you are a Citizen.
You know right from wrong.
You do your duty and vote,
And expect freedom to come along.
...
The beauty of a barn,
With high graceful eaves,
Can enhance any setting,
With enchantment it weaves.
...
For fifty years, a ship lays beneath the sea,
In a bay of tranquil bliss.
Today, bubbles of oil still surface
And you ask, "Why was this?"
...
The Citizen
You say you are a Citizen.
You know right from wrong.
You do your duty and vote,
And expect freedom to come along.
You say you are a citizen,
Of a society with a heart.
You want better services,
And from your earnings you will part.
You say you are a citizen,
Of a society who must care,
And you sacrifice personal freedoms,
To improve general welfare.
You say you are a citizen,
Of the best there has ever been.
How long will it stay that way,
Giving away freedoms,
Your ancestors had to win?
Right on Ralph..... my sentiments exactly. Wish we had more patriots like you. D. Richards
