INDEPENDENCE CANNOT COME WITHOUT MEMORIAL DAY
Firetrucks roll proudly, while fifes and drummers play;
Fireworks blast loudly while politicians bray...
Though the world seems safe now and death seems far away -
Independence cannot come without Memorial Day.
~~~~~
Honored Dead still slumber beneath the wreaths they lay;
Restless spirits rumble as Freedom drifts away...
Headstones sending signals the silent Dead relay -
Independence cannot come without Memorial Day.
~~~~~
Ivory Towers tumble to mounds of crumbling clay;
Shepherds roll in riches while Lambs are led astray...
Dead Men speaking clearly what Living Men won't say -
Independence cannot come without Memorial Day.
~~~~~
Brave, prepare for Battle! Sinners, kneel to pray!
Lest we're led like cattle to prisons far away...
Hear the thunder rattle as Angels' Trumpets play -
Independence cannot come without Memorial Day.
