Choice

This land of freedom and liberty
Which is bestowed at birth,
With a refined demeanor for defending the weak
With an olive branch and arrows in that bald eagles claws
Representing how this nation brawls
When it comes to a free voice

At length this country has been around;
Eleven scores and fifteen years.
Our founding fathers had the wisdom to write
That every born person in this land has rights.
And under the sky is protected
By persons with valor, courage and spirited uplifting
They defend the constitution with a willingness to uphold.

So remember; if one is a member
Stand proud; not flighty
And one will fit right in
Where wisdom, candidness, and a voice
Will help one make the right choice.
