Our Forefathers Knew The Way<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a room full of people <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

but, there is nothing inside.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their attempt at caring is feeble.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Very few of them even cried.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It all is much too common.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Horrendous tragedies daily.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, they stand there, yawning<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What more is there to say?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are barraged daily with the news.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

More horrible stories and killing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all enough to give you the blues.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We could stop it, if we are willing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the answer makes people upset.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want to hear about it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, how quickly they seem to forget.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our country was founded by wit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our forefathers were very wise.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They saw the light and lived by it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They saw the world open before their eyes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The constitution was just a bit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A small part of the wisdom they had.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They could see what would be coming.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It lasted over 200 years & I am glad.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, today, people are running.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t know what from.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are scared and forgotten the way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it is time for the \u2018kingdom come.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, people won\u2019t listen to what I say.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The end is coming. Nothing will stop it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A time like there never was before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

More trouble than the daily news bit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unimaginable, striking right at our core.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The way out is so simple. It\u2019s on our money.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Trust in God.\u2019 It is the only way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Those forefathers were not being funny.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They had the wisdom. They had the say.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
