A Third Light

 

 

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye…

In the year of our lord, two thousand.

 

I deliver my message to all that will hear.

For this is the ride of the new Paul Revere.

I have rested in peace for hundreds of years.

From your cries, I awaken, to my worst fears.

 

The country I love is in peril again.

Though to my despair, it comes from within.

I hang a third light, in the bell tower this night.

To warn all Americans, of the inevitable fight.

 

Our constitutional rights will soon come to pass,

if our vote to be counted, we do not ask.

Men fought and they died to give thee a voice,

while others have taken to silence our choice.

 

Come together Americans, stand proud and be heard.

Demand to be counted, You Have the Last Word!
