Once upon a midnight dreary
I tried to think of something cheery.
As I lay there, scratching my head
Troubling thoughts crept in instead.
When a program seems right, could it be wrong?
When it doesn’t improve, why still go along?
Traditional values are now out of date
If we live them we’re told that’s not love, it’s now hate.
You’re a bigot if you don’t believe the very same thing
Disagreement is hatred, the singers now sing.
Our Christian foundation and In God We Trust
Offends some so now it is Tolerance or Bust.
Will the time come when anything goes?
We seem headed that way, so I suppose.
If it sounds crazy or even deranged
Is progress calling for things to change?
You may say these things will never be
History disproves that; we’re changed gradually.
What used to be wrong is now labeled right.
It’s okay to kill babies before they see light.
Cops are now bad. Lawbreakers are good.
We tell victims they “can’t”, not that they “could.”
When governments tell us what we must do
They deliberately divide us, me against you.
I have questions, not answers, and I do wonder why
If I’ve lived right and worked hard, how am I a bad guy?
Shouldn’t we question what we are told?
Seek more information on what we are sold?
Shouldn’t we welcome honest debate
Before freedom is gone, before it’s too late?
