Toot the Horn

When a baby's born, we toot the horn When from this Earth we pass, we play taps In between, horns herald Kings and Queens The onset of war, an ambulance or fire machine Yet the grandest event at which trumpets sounded A historical nonpareil, which once majestically resounded Lies in tatters today -- abashed -- ashamed and ridiculed The Ten Commandments trivia questions, their genius overruled Shouts of 'Liberty!' 'Equality!' 'Technology!' blasts of dystrophy and death Unbridled Anarchy blares her grim tidings ~ Divine Providence's last breaths
