Veterans Day
This week flags will wave again;
We'll march down a city street
we'll try to keep the cadence
with grown old two left feet.
We're veterans who served our land
In places far and wide.
Today, we will be smiling;
we won't show the hurt inside.
This land we all fought for,
is changing day by day.
The people just don't seem to care,
as their freedoms slip away.
The Constitution was once sacred,
a document held dear.
Our founding fathers gave to us,
a message once so clear;
Now lying is accepted,
and other things just as bad.
But we will show our smiles today,
pretend that we are glad.
We will be with our brothers,
and yes, our sisters too.
We ones who wore the uniform,
and kept our honor true.
We fought to keep this country free,
were our battles all in vain?
My land, my country 'tis of the,
can we be free again?
