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!

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
