What Would Our Forefathers Say

Some rights or your life? The question's put to us all What would be your choice? We need to profile Trading some rights for safety Small inconvenience To locate the nests Of these cockroaches and to Exterminate them Arguing over Our Constitutional rights Is a waste of time If our Forefathers Could see us now, they would say, "Destroy them all!" Then we will have time To live, to talk, to argue To enjoy our rights They fought for freedom They gave us our civil rights We can't let them down! So called "intellects" Who have over analyzed The Constitution Have caused us to doubt What should be plain common sense Thomas Payne would cry... George Washington would Be dismayed at how slow our Nation was to act Thomas Jefferson And Benjamin Franklin would Frown and shake their heads But ghosts from the past Can't lead us into battle Can't save our future...
