Sorry, posted the rough, here is the finished poem.


Its Our Turn!

I’ve a serious challenge for you all
to cry out an angry patriot’s call
Make a timely difference in the end
throw out those who ought be binned

The best we see in a distant place
fall in struggle before a brutal race
Yet here, the least demand our rights
and would deny our right to fight

We need to see that the truth be told
honor those who fell outside the fold
We must keep that for which the better died
and for which the shallow take with lies

A halfhearted battle here at home we wage
some of us feel the patriot’s honest rage
Our precious kids died to save this land
and the DC socialists use slight of hand

If we lose this country by avoiding fuss
we have dishonored those who fell for us
A debt is owed, and must be paid in full
and we must throw out the political bull

It is up to us to stand, and defend this land
and remember the fallen, that honored band
We owe them a debt so deep and so true
we must complete what they died to do

I think that we should have done this during the Vietnam War. I have always felt bad that we didn't fight the socialist in this country at that time. I guess better late than never.

I am also concerned that, even if the nation survives until the election next year, the worst offenders will be re-elected because they come from districts populated by imbeciles. And too, the imbecilic districts may be the majority.

Excellent, JOHNN! Thank you.
Seeing so many patriots in DC last week was very heartwarming.
It appears the Silent Majority will be silent no more.

We must remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice
as we pray for those answering their country's call.

Thank you, JOHNN. Have a wonderful day.
