A VISITOR FROM THE PAST (Thelen Paulk) I had a dream the other night, I didnt understand. A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low, he said: We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave. The freedom we secured for you, we hoped youd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom gone, your courage lost, youre no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun, Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in choosing, how the moneys spent. Your children must attend a school that doesnt educate. Your Christian values cant be taught, according to the state. You read about the current news, in a regulated press. You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or dont you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride? Are there no more values for which youll fight to save? Or do you wish your children, to live in fear and be a slave? People of the Republic, arise and take a stand! Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land! Preserve our Great Republic, and GOD-Given Right! And pray to GOD, to keep the torch of Freedom burning bright! As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not Free, we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants, trample each GOD-Given Right, We only watch and tremble,Etoo afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside, in a dream, while youre asleep, And wonders what remains of our Rights he fought to keep, What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave: IS THIS STILL THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE???
