We Must Decide
By Franklin Price
4/14/2017

We must decide just who we are - Not who we have become
Our Christian values under foot - As in the place that we came from
As persecuted Christians - Chose to sail to get away
To choose how we would worship - A place of freedom we could stay

We landed in Virginia - Then again at Plymouth Rock
Suffered much for our beliefs – The natives helped the flock
 We grew in population - Built on ways that we believed
Villages were small and closed - Change begrudgingly received

Most of us were English – Christians mostly but in name
Other than belief in Christ - Little else was quite the same
To define the rules for us - Founding fathers would not quit
They penned the Constitution - Never was  the likes of it

Freedom for all people - To believe in what we thought
Not be persecuted for it - Not be put away if caught
There would be no royalty - To dictate who we are
Government by the people - Not a king, a queen or czar

They put in checks and balances – Laws for this disagreeing pack
If you don't support the Constitution - Get out and don't come back

Let's thank Japan for who we are – What we're about today
They brought us into World War two – Forced us not to stay away
Pulled Americans together – To defeat the enemy
Who wanted to control the world -  Overcome democracy

Americans did all we could – Left our isolated place
And working with our allies – Put world leadership in place
When the war was over – We thought we were the king
Refer to the Constitution – To see that's not this country's thing

If we have religious rights – All others should have too
We cannot decide for them – As they cannot for you
Not our job to rule the world – With a global U.S. coups
Let's take care of our country first – It's the least that we should do
