In Blood They Paid

Enjoy the splendor while you still can of this great and glorious windswept land. 
Founded on the values of Godly men who took a determined and valiant stand. 
Men whose lives they gladly gave and for our freedom in blood they paid.
Taken aback by these changing Times, our morals and values hang on the line. 
Our leadership is dwindling every day and the common people have a high price to pay. 
If things do not start to turn around our nation soon will be totally unsound. 
Stand up people and make your voice heard or else this sickness will never be cured.

Your poem rings true. I wish everyone in our country felt the same way.
