Progress Vs Congress
"Progress vs Congress"
by: Eric L. Boddie
I was driving along
Only able to hear my own voice
And I got a seat belt ticket
What happened to my freedom of choice
This is the greatest nation
And just for the sake of my rights
More than blood has been shed
And that alone puts me in the fight
But not the way you think
Because I AM, the REAL NUMBER EIGHT
And in this land, I CHOSE HIM FREELY
That is why America is great
He Gave me the right to choose
And America made it a law
But they see Him as money
America's greatest flaw
But what keeps this nation running
Is far more valuable than wealth
It is the secret of America
Each generation will lead itself
No matter the destination
The people will decide
Now, that's not always the case
But we still go along for the ride
Because we Live by the principles
For which so many have died and fought
But is it worth the cost of Life
When elections can be bought
Empowering leaders without direction
Some of which are not fit to follow
America has changed through many years of yesterday
I wonder how it will be in those of tomorrow
