PEARL HARBOR

Sunday, December the seventh
In the year of 1941,

With no one to snuggle at night.

And it's not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
It's not any judge, lawyer, politician, or teacher
But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.

Practiced long before words of print.
