America The Beautiful
America
The land we claim to be free
But are required to pay taxes just to live
Definate things in life: Death, and Taxes
The land we claim to love
Yet we rip her to shreds
Darkness falls upon my face,
As I walk I leave no trace
My mind is glazed but awake
I know my life is at stake
I take one look to my right
As a sailor clutches his gun tight
Steadily we advance
I once saw a veteran, coming down from his truck to his wheelchair, stumble out of his door.
On the hot parking lot ground, he layed, unresponsive to my concerns.
I ran to my dad, pleading for him to come over to help him.
We'll always remember our youth,
our careless and reckless acts.
We'll always remember our childish loves,
I had a dream about my daughter last night, where could she be?The choices that her mother had made were not up to me.She was snatched from my life in the middle of the night.
I am pure, I am clean, I can be put together with anything. I am the only way to go, im the path to the sun behind the door. I am away from the night, i am that bright light.
I wish you had told me sooner
That you would be leaving me
I know you have your duties but
I
Your daughter
Deserved a say in the matter
I watch the news
I see the deaths
My life in the military is not so grand
even though it has its days
I am Honored to defend my land
I yonder to be where my family stays
while I lay my life for you
When im alone at homeI don't really know what to doBut all I want is to beWith you
As I walk outsideIts cold and dark out hereI remember you so greatlyBut without you im so scared
A veteran stands strong and tall,
They’ve risked their life, their friends, their all.
Some people may not agree with the war
There are many who live to love, There are many who live to be loved, There are those who sacrifice their lives so that we may live. It is a joy to watch you stand proud near the flag. It is a pleasure to support you from across the land.
They asked him what he wanted to be
When he grew up and he said,
“Not a fireman or a police patroller, no,
Not a scientist or an astronaut…
I want to be superman and
Save the world.”
Pace my life, but I’m never going slow, if it’s not one thing, it’s another , can’t keep my problems in control, dreams as children to grow up and get a million and spend it all in front of the county building.
There is no one in this planet
that got attension besides you.
it may have taken me a moment,
but now i finally realize
that loding you would take my heart
and tear it all apart
Ladies And Gentlemen Boys And Girls BROTHERS AND SISTERS !Please Gather Around To Hear A Few Words From Your Little Big Brother For I Would Like To Enlighten YOU !
As the smoke danced around the muzzle of my thoughts
My eyes were opened to behold the dismay before me
And as the souls ran, yet all for not
I quivered in fear at the thought of their eternity
I don't want to leave, yet
But I can't stay
I can see you crying,
Tears fall down your face.
Just remember
I will come back home,
that is a promise
that I will not break.
