-Caveat Lector-
'Visitor from the Past'
By THELEN PALK
I had a dream the other night,
I didn't understand.
A figure walking through the mist
with flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were torn and dirty,
as he stood there by my bed.
He look off his three-cornered hat
and speaking low, he said:
We fought a revolution,
to secure our Liberty.
We wrote the Constitution,
as a shield from tyranny.
For future generations,
this legacy we gave.
In this, the land of the free
and home of the brave.
The freedom we secured for you,
we hoped you'd always keep.
But tyrants labored endlessly
while your parents were asleep.
Your freedom gone, your courage lost,
you're no more than a slave.
In this, the land of the free
and home of the brave.
You buy permits to travel,
and permits to own a gun,
permits to start a business,
or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own,
you pay a yearly rent.
Although you have no voice in choosing,
how the money's spent.
Your children must attend a school
that doesn't educate.
Your Christian values can't be taught,
according to the state.
You read about the current news
in a regulated press.
You pay a tax you do not owe,
to please the I.R.S.
Your money is no longer made of Silver
or of Gold.
You trade your wealth for paper,
so your life can be controlled.
You pay for crimes that make our Nation,
turn from God in shame.
You've taken Satan's number,
as you've traded in your name.
You've given government control,
to those who do you harm,
so they can padlock churches,
and steal the family farm,
and keep our country deep in debt,
put men of God in jail,
harass your fellow countrymen,
while corrupted courts prevail.
Your public servants don't uphold
the solemn oath they've sworn.
Your daughters visit Doctors
so their children won't be born.
Your leaders ship artillery,
and guns to foreign shores,
and send your sons to slaughter,
fighting other people's wars.
Can you regain the freedom
for which we fought and died?
Or you have the courage,
or the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values
for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children, live in fear
and be a slave?
Sons of the Republic
arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution
the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our Great Republic,
and each GOD-Given Right!
And pray to GOD, to keep
the torch of Freedom burning bright.
As I awoke he vanished,
in the mist from whence he came.
His words were true, we are not tree,
we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample
each GOD-Given Right
We only watch and tremble
too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside
in a dream. while you're asleep,
and wonders what remains
of our Rights he fought to keep,
what would be your answer,
if he called out from the grave:
IS THIS STILL, THE LAND OF THE FREE
AND HOME OF THE BRAVE????
Dedicated to the defenders of Liberty--
past, present and future!
