Wake Up!

Wake Up!
by Anthony Moreland 6/26/2008

American Flag pins banned at ABC?*
This Country is losing its’ identity.
When apathy is as rampant as Homeland poverty.
When a 4th Estater views patriotism with mediocrity.

Wake Up!

Our founding parents are watching and rumbling
As the corner stones of liberty and freedom are crumbling
Leaders blinded by power, citizens tired of grumbling.
The whole thing is balanced on a string that’s unraveling.

Wake Up!

Let’s not forget GOD in which we pledged our Trust.
How does He feel watching His Chosen, consumed in lust?
To live in denial until the whole thing goes bust, or
Pick up and sweep out the years of bad dust.

Wake Up!

I’m not a preacher, your judge, or your jury.
I’m an observer here to watch and wait for GOD’s fury.
For soon I’ll be gone and hardly a memory,
On the lips of a multitude consumed in self misery.

Wake Up!

When the world is anew and the grasses are green
The mountains will sparkle, the lakes so serene.
A world ruled by Christ where the people have seen
Beyond a material life to an enlightened dream, and woke up!
