Freedom

Freedom

Imagine tomorrow that your freedom was gone
Only five miles of travel from your own front lawn

Isolated in fear, vulnerable to attack
No guns or ammo, unable to watch your own back

Would you still point your finger and damn the U.S.
Or pray for our country and hope God to bless

The United States of America is our planets last stand
Our doors are still open and refugees are not banned

We are having some issues which we soon will repair
The Eagle still flies and there’s freedom in our air

I’m happy to see your stand for the privileges we have as Americans. Those who complain should consider spending time in another country and then see how much their bitterness seems unwarranted.

We don’t bash his country because of respect….not for him.

I remember a certain somebody who kept bashing the U.S. now his country is in turmoil. At least people here are not bashing is country when they easily could.

Our freedom is not for sale, we never forget the brave servicemen and women who gave us that freedom. Im grateful I live in a civilised country where I'm free from persecution. God bless America. Hope you're keeping well Mark. Tom
