The Common Sense Club

BY: JAMES M. ROBERTSON

As I look, off in the distance

I can see a light shinning upon me.

There is a voice that overcomes me.

It says my love will always shine upon thee.

For you must make a stand

For you are given the greatest gift of any free man.

That greatest gift is the land of the free.

 

As I sat there pondering what the voice had meant.

My heart-felt soaking wet.

I did not know what this strange feeling was
building up in me.

I just sat there in disbelief and wondered
how could this be.

 

As the coldness of this feeling kept growing inside me;

I had been faced with so many different tragedies.

The coldness kept getting deeper and deeper within me.

I just kept shaking my head in disbelief.

 

I could not believe what my eyes had just seen.

For the Lord had shown me the greatest tragedy.

America would go through a great suffering.

That most people would their life in disbelief.

 

Until, one day when they open their eyes.

They have lost their freedoms that so many men had

shed their blood to live in the land of the free.

For this freedom, that these Americans

had so gratefully cherished had went away.

Till the children of this great land had all been turned into slaves.

 

Most people could not understand what had happened in this great land.

How they had lost all their freedoms to some communist plan.

Until one day this great awakening had spread all throughout the land

That becoming a slave was never part of their plan

This is the suppose to be land of the free in my home land

 

We all have to stand together so strong and so tall

To never allow freedom in America to fall

Whether that be the communist, socialist, or fascist way

This is the LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.
