For Life's Sake

I appreciate The patriotic voices It does my heart good I truly believe In what makes this country great But I would say this: The Constitution And Bill of Rights created To ensure freedom Against tyranny And to stop invaders from Attacking our homes We have the right to Should pack a gun... Having the right to Be free goes hand in hand with The right to feel safe If we continue To argue over our right To security We are betraying The very thing we fought for In all the wars past We are no longer Truly free because we now Are captives of fear We are so afraid Of being insensitive Offending someone... We've allowed thousands Of "sleepers" to live with us Freely, unchallenged Waiting for the time The signal to attack us Again and again While we were sleeping Enemies crawled in our beds They destroy our dreams... Would you invite your Enemy to your house to Sit at your table? Right to privacy? We gave that up long ago It's an illusion Each time we logon To the web to conduct our "Personal" business... Each time we apply To obtain that credit card To purchase more "things"... Willingly we will Give up the rights to privacy For financial gain Making money is the "Great American Way" Nothing wrong with that But when it comes to National security We whine, hem and haw... We won't compromise When it's not profitable Even for life's sake...
