Two-Hundred and Thirty-eight years ago today
They signed their names and history was on its way
To be forever set anew
upon a pathway none yet "knew".
And for the Founders of America fair --
So promising, so hopeful: a dream not yet dared --
Determined to give us Guiding Light,
They turned to GOD to guide us right
And when in prayer they bent their knee,
To seek His wisdom, His guidance be
The way to govern our land so fair
They turned to Providence, Who is always there.
And so a Tribute, to them and to thee
For upon a Founder's wise, true plea,
"If you can keep her", said he to she,
The quest remains, but with uncertainty...
The question that stands before us now
Is for those stripes to whom do we bow?
Do we take orders, forgetting wrong and right?
Or do we for our Republic fight?
Do we have tyrant or monarchy?
Or is freedom FOUNDERS' tribute TO THEE?
Consider now whom you'll obey
If one dark night the orders say:
"Fire upon your fellow man,
Your neighbor, brother, family, friend.
And do not think for yourself
'Tis president's orders at threat to self
You'll obey or be subject to
Dishonor, judgment, court martial, too."
And when that order comes will you
Obey the order, or Founders' Dream Follow Through?
