BETTER MEN

Better men

America better men have died for thee.
And fed the tree of Liberty.

Through times of war and times woe.
It's Better men whose blood did flow.

At Lexington upon the green.
Twas better men who made that scene.

From Gettysburg to fields in France.
Those better men did take a chance.

On the shores of Normandy to paddys filled with rice.
Walked better men who gave to thee their final sacrifice.

And now on iraq's burning sand.
Our better men now make a stand.

But here at home there's some who say.
These better men they shouldn't stay.

This Liberty we should not spread.
Bring home our better men instead.

What enemy is this I see.
Who want our better men to flee.

The enemy from with in.
They say that better men can't win.

The enemy of Liberty.
That better men died giving thee.

Let not fade the light of Liberty on this Election Day.
Let's pray to God that we can be the Better men today.


Dedicated to father a Better man than me.

" In the beginning of change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man,hated and scorned. when the cause succeeds however,the timid join him...for then it cost nothing to be a patriot. "
-Mark Twain
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
