Important History
if time could be traveled
I'd take America's children
on an historic adventure
to undo public school brain washing
a time before t.v. and internet
when kids played kick the can
and used their imaginations
and parents weren't ridiculously protective
going back farther still
they'd learn about our nation
all that America truly stands for
at last they'd learn true values
witness the Boston Tea Party
signing of the Declaration of Independence
hear our Constitution being read
the Emancipation Proclamation too
so they'd learn to have respect for
God, humanity and good old fashion American values
all that once made America great
they'd proudly say the Pledge of Allegiance
their little hearts would fill with joy
at "One nation under God"
indeed, if time could be traveled
I'd undo the public schools' brain washing!
