| Choose or Lose | 
|
| Are we committed to the cause
Of freedom in our land?
Will we be always able
To play a winner's hand?
I wonder as we listen
To news around the world,
How long our country will behold
The flag that is unfurled?
Will young men fight for freedom
Just like they used to do?
Will they defend our nation,
And the flag, Red, White and Blue?
I wonder how important
They think our right to choose.
I wonder if they realize
How easy we could lose
The Constitution's guarantees,
And all the rights we know,
Well, if they have this knowledge,
They ought to let it show.
In fact, we all should honor
Our country and its laws,
And dedicate our lives to fight
For freedom and its cause.
No nation under heaven
Can do more than we can
To bless the nations of the earth,
And the life of every man.
One man alone can never win
This fight for freedom's land,
But "We, the People, United,"
Together, can command
A "Force" to change directions,
To build a stronger nation,
Where everyone considers it
His right and obligation | By James H. Lee Jr.
