A True Patriot

The true patriot doesn't always go with the flow, he follows his heart. Even wounded, he still does his part. Speak so loud and clear, even if it attracts ridicule and scorn,  from far and near. His actions rather than just his words, try to limit the length of the terms, of the callous and arrogant,Who listen to no one,  but their idols of power and greed. Shouldn't they take notice of the signs of their fathers, really take heed. If the patriot shows how to forgive and forget, can their hardened hearts ever br breached? Not by rifle fire, but by the love of their Sons, I pray some day they can be reached.
