My song has no melody, so I hope you like the words

I am a Patriot

When reading words from long ago
Describing what would be
My heart is full of gratitude
And more, humility

What have I done today
To sustain this legacy?
Have I served my nation well?
What future do I see?

Days are dark and violent now
Our leaders lack integrity
Selfishness and greed abound
Fools and liars live easily

Do I speak the truth aloud
To honor this gift of liberty
Or do I grieve alone in silence
Denying that we once were free?

No! I am still a Patriot
Standing tall and constantly
Fighting lies with honest words
And honoring our history

Children, listen to my words
Honor men of bravery
Live your lives with virtue
Remember why you're free
