If I Had A Wish...
If I had a wish, oh, yes – it would be,
That God grant me this miracle for – just a
few – to see,
For those who sit in their office, standing for
nothing…
To defend our values – they are not willing.
The Bible, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights
–
For none of these things, they are willing to
fight!
And, so, here’s my wish, my wish just for you
–
A daily reminder – I wish, God would do!
For those destroying our values, oh, let -
them only - see,
How of our foundations - they’ve made a mockery!
So, send them “a message”, dear Lord – let it be
told,
On the scrolls – in their restrooms – let it
unfold!
The words of our Constitution – on a new type of
paper,
So worthless, so porous – once destroyed – gone
forever!
So, grant me this wish, God – that these persons
may think,
Before they take to their pens – to modify the
ink!
That perpetrators to this blasphemy, not further
create,
Words destroying our Constitution - what made
this nation - so great!
Religion and morality, yes – these are our
pillars!
Those who wave the flag, yet destroy these are
liars -
Not patriots! So, to our leaders, as you lay
down to rest…
Consider reading George Washington’s Farewell
Address!
A state imposed religion, our founders, they
wanted not,
The basis of the First Amendment, let it not be
forgot!
But, in a few matters of religion the state
could come in,
To protect life, children and all, from ungodly
sin!
But when, in Danbury, Connecticut, a church
heard a false rumor,
To President Jefferson, it quickly wrote up a
letter,
Expressing concerns over rumors of a state
religion,
Jefferson replied, - impossible - for between
“church” and state, a wall had been risen!
“Separation of Church and State” – in no
founding documents can this be found!
And if you want to know, why we’ve lost so much
ground –
Look not in the First Amendment, nor in the Bill
of Rights,
Look in Everson vs. Board of Education (1947) –
for it was in that fight!
Thomas Jefferson, yes, he coined the phrase –
“separation of church and state”
For his letter to Danbury, see Reynolds vs.
United States, back in 1878,
But his words were then twisted, made to mean
something new,
For that, see Engel vs. Vitale, so recently -
1962!
Yes, in Engel vs. Vitale “church” was
redefined,
From a “state imposed
denomination” to “any religious act” – the
new line!
For close to two hundred years, to our
foundations, we had been true,
But with this redefinition - America - was
redefined, too!
So, on important matters – to politicians unable
to decide,
Feel free to say so – and then - to step aside,
And look to the founding fathers and to their
first note:
To “We The People” – and put it to a national
vote!
Powers have shifted – oh, yes - it’s true!
From “We The People” – to a powerful few!
To special interests with financial might -
But “The People”- for their
children - will continue to fight!
Determination - fueled by anger - fueled by
love,
To fight the fight… to stand above!
To love thy brother – to do what is right,
To follow HIS laws – to follow HIS light!
Yes, the founding fathers - they surely knew,
God blessed America – when to Him we were
true!
