where we are in the US, presently, is potentially much worse than Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.

Remember Pearl Harbor Seventy-eight Years Ago By Franklin Price 12/07/2019 Seventy-eight years ago, At the rising of the sun Came the day of infamy; Our present times begun The sleeping giant awakened, To become the greatest power Would take four years and many lives To have our finest hour A country made for freedom, For each citizen to choose, Stood up to be counted, Still the biggest in the news Unlike those whom we had beaten Did not try to take it all But fought to bring to others What we knew was freedom's call The path that then was chosen Was an ego boosting way The world's supposed to cling to Every single word we say When we're in disagreement With the ways that others go We try to force what works for us All is better, that we know We're not the be all or the end all For any other foreign land The government at present Our own people cannot stand Need to respond, as we did then Yes, back in forty-one Fight to win the war we're in Or it's over and we're done
