Ring the Gong


Even though a danger’s there
We still forge on for the dare.
Is it right or is it wrong?
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

Standing there upon the stage
With voice of passionate rage
Take a breath, sing your song
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

Flying high above the skies
Silently quenching inner cries
Pull the cord, don’t prolong
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

Climb the mountain to the top
with an inner drive to not stop
The climb is hard the climb is long  
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

Time is now we take a stand
To honor our sacred homeland
United together we are strong
Our driving force –
To ring the gong

And after all is said and done
The War on Terror has been won
The Liberty bell will sounds it’s bong  
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

So pick your cause and let out a shout
do not fear, just let it out
Now, “Let’s roll”-  don’t wait too long
Our driving force –
To ring the gong.

Ring it loud
Ring it proud
You're a gifted poet
With a lot to say
Your words of patriotism
Have made my day

Thanx for ringing that gong

Whee! I almost get a rush just reading this poem! Great work, 2dalimit--you've inspired me to find other gongs to ring.

What an uplifting message.  (tries not to look guilty as she starts the list of things to get done today)

Only one question for you... :p  Which gong should I ring first?

Always,
BWA
