PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The years have gone by and by

With wars where young men just die

We lived through the greatest of them all

With changes come and we stood tall

The Revolutionary War we thought was bad

The King of England was truly mad

The red coats marched over here

But we sent them running far and clear

With that day where we raised that flag

We were proud to be as we held our bloody rags

We sent old Ben to proclaim our pride

He came back to us with a different stride

We declared our independence for all to hear

Made the world know we were meant to be feared

The world was not the enemy

For our own brothers would definitely see

A man was born in Illinois his name we would call

Honest Abe would free us all

The Civil War came with anger filled

Brother would fight brothers and then be killed

The North would prove the rights of a man

Was not configured on color of his hand

And so we free’d all those slaves

But the fight wasn't over its still going on today

When will the fight finally end

Where we can be brothers and finally be friends

The healing is coming in the mass

Cause a black man was elected president atlas

And so we look onto this world were in

Where there are more temptations and even more sins

But We know of our history we know of our past

We must push this forward and do it fast

For the peace we seek will be far and between

For the anger of the world is more than we've seen

We need to grasp to our friends

For we are coming to an end

Change is inevitable for us all

We will choose our path lets not stall

Pick the right road for us to go

Love and laughter is good you know
