The Last Words of A Patriot

 

Brothers and sisters can you hear my sorrowed voice

It pleads to your hearts to please make a choice

Will we live another day as puppets on our strings

Or find truth in are lives and the joy that it brings

 

The goverment that leads us is corrupt to the core

The only progress they make is towards the next world war

With big business in town the rich do so well

And when the poor speak up their thrown into a cell

 

Look at the country you live in today

A place where it's a crime to get married if your gay

When we band together they send cops in attack

And fill our prisons with the poor and the black

 

We must stand up,we must fight for our right's

Even if it means putting them in our gun sights

If we have to we'll march and burn down the hill

And restore our constitution bill by bill

 

I can only hope that someday i'll see

My brothers and sisters living in a nation thats free

Truly I hope my words touch deep in your heart

And together someday we'll make a new start

You should write more love poetry and less hateful stuff Trikius.

Wow, thats a real striking poem, I mean it really striked me. Its very inspiring and brings up a lot of problems the world is facing. I agree that the rich get richer and the poor get a raw deal. What I don't agree with is a violent solution, no one should have to die so that we can all live free. But that is my humble opinion, no matter in your mind. I fond it a very inspiring speach with a wonderful choice of words and an excelent rhyme scheme! I must note however that it was the title that grabed me and made me choose yours out of all the millions of others! Excelent!
