Look up at the sky, it's not gray Omnipresent, so far away Its up there they say angels tread Keeping a watchful eye on the dead And you and me and Uncle Fred For under the sky and the clouds We all are waiting for the shroud Those who've gone before we have tears Some we've not seen many a year Living here on earth can cause pain Some say it is the mark of Cain We're oft reminded where we go They beat their chests and tell of woe I say just give it all a rest Without tithes you still can be blessed I know for a fact so don't despair Sweet Land of Liberty so fair But some are here to make us fall I see the writing on the wall These people are using our laws To subvert us but they are flawed They worship a pedophile god Pedophilia in the Qur'an They are slowly beating us down If not stopped we will surely drown Stop islamization of our land Bring back America so grand Oh, just please open up your eyes If not America will die Women will become property And live their lives in misery You think my fears are so absurd But it's not my eyes that are blurred Oh, this great land has lost its shine It's been diluted like Gallo wine We claim greatness, but just a trace It's a different kind of arms race This place we love and call our home Will soon I'm quite sure be our tomb We're living on past glory's now I won't last much longer I vow It's up to us, we who are still free To stop the madness, that's the key. ©June 25, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

These are terrible times. You are not alone in your fears. There are those that fear distruction, others that call for it and others still that anticipate it as fulfillment of prophesy. My biggest concern is the volume of Americans killed by violence everyday in our United States. I'm surprised terroists feel a need to kill us since we are doing such a good job of it ourselves.

You give voice to the thoughts and fears of many. You're right, clear eyes alone aren't enough to enact change. Someone has to use that key. Michael |

We may be so far gone, Michael, that nothing can stop the collapse of America. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
