Legacy

Observing the realities of today's society While contemplating the legacy we leave our children Seeing only degradation of morality And destruction of purpose As we liberalize a generation Making murder of the unseen child Obsession of materialism Exploitation of the human spirit Not only acceptable But encouraged Dividing by status With governmental repression of achievement and the repeated errors Committed three centuries ago under puritanical rule A legacy of blatant stupidity supported by A not so supreme court of lawless And a House of Misrepresentation Promoting failure Demoralizing effort and vision and Creating entitlement minded robots Of human flesh and programmed minds No longer able to rebel only to accept what is, as is A cry for the return of the patriot A need to resurrect the glory A reversal of the demise of faith Restoring hope An assault on ignorance then will become A legacy of love
