A patriotic narrative in iambic heptameter. |
The pride and passion practiced and prolonged in one strong life, Rejects the call to whimsy in a willful, wasted world. Aware of all redundancies in suffering and strife Some still display with honor our great nation's flag unfurled. There's glory in the glory of a greater guarantee, Described in dedications made by immigrants of old Who's longing for a little more of bright-light liberty Was shared in perfect harmony with patriotic bold. And we begin each year with brand new challenges to face With seismic salutation to grand stories yet untold When even greater gifts of glory bind the human race Where beauty blends such brotherhood to shine upon the fold. To timelessness of spirit add the courage to engage As part of all our sisters and our brothers standing strong Against those evil tyrants who run empires filled with rage We fight with every ounce of might ingrained within our song. We sing the songs and serenades to lift our fighting soul, Symbolic of our heroes and the hallowed ground that bleeds With blood of men and women who have died but are made whole When heaven's golden soldiers cast down perfect planting seeds. Oh glory to this nation and the citizens who dwell Within her borders beautiful together unified. As tyranny has tyrants tethered deep inside their hell So freedom spawning liberty has mankind glorified. Let's take the steps we need to make all eulogies in war As rare as any politician's honesty is rare. Then hopefully the populus will soon learn to adore An evolution revolution men of peace can wear. |
