Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine United States a Founding Father Born in Norfolk an honest English man Me proud to be part of a true Ameri can No summer soldier or sunshine patriot Spoke what he thought treasure no idiot Tyranny like hell is not so easily conquered harder the glorious conflict amour armoured Still being inspiration in the army of freedom his memory surely no not just my poor poem Lover of freedom bringing common sense the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph Hater of all the established churches Lover of the native Indian Iroquois But no Christian burial for him No Christian church would receive his body for burial
