In Sharon a flower bloomed. A rose of great beauty that was gone too soon. It's fragrance filled the air, until of it's delicate petals it was stripped bare. Left naked and alone, it bore the shame of us all. Lain low among the thorns, through tragedy a flower was reborn. More beautiful than it had been before, a magnificent flower for all to adore. For where the rose had been brought down by all the world's sin, salvation was bornnwhennthe rose bloomed again.

They found a child named Amanda Gorman, they tout her as their new darling. They say she is the new it girl, they say she will change the world. The truth is that it is all a lie, repackaged for you to buy. She will speak about social justice and how it should apply to the rest of us. We will hear her talk about inclusion but in truth it is all a delusion. For they only have their point of view and there is no room for me and you. They are not open to any discussion. They only want to take and never give, that is the only way they know how to live. If the son of God could not save the world, then how do they expect to get deliverance from this girl?

Morning will come again, the sun will rise. The night will end and my pillow won't have to catch my tears. I will wipe the sorrow from my eyes and put my pain In a drawer. A shower and a new perspective will be welcome. Your memory will begin to fade and my wounded heart will heal. I will pull the pieces back together and figure out what comes next. when I no more tears to cry for you, then I can finally move on.

Here's your arm band now get in line. You will get your boots and brown shirt in due time. Don't mind the rhetoric, just yell and scream a lot. We will tell you when to act out or not. We all March to the same tune, we will tell you what that tune is. You don't need think for yourself, we will do that for you. So just learn to have an angry blank stare, be cold and indifferent as you can be. Our party is a lively one as you will soon see. No matter the problem, it is always someone else's fault. We have a solution, just let us have control. All will be fine, just go along with our program. Welcome to the party, isn't life grand.
Everyone has the answer, just go along with the program

The graves of our sons and daughters line the shores of foreign lands. We might squabble among ourselves, but if outsiders try to interfere then united we will stand. We give our all to everything we do and the promise of freedom still stands, to anyone who wants our dream you will find we understand. So if you want to be one of us then you may have to wait in line. Don't expect a hand out but we will give you a hand up so you can stand up on your own two feet. Being born an American is not easy, but it is dam well worth the fight. So roll up your sleeves and let's get to work making America a better place.

We are given hope and we dash it. We are offered redemption and we refuse it. We can be great but we seek to be shallow and unforgiving. We hold on to earthly things instead the heavenly. We turn on each other and take from each other until we are all the poorer for it. God looks at who were and who we were meant to be, then he weeps at what we are.

People struggle to get here, then they tear our country down. People say they want Justice, then they take away our rights. If you work hard and make something of yourself, they say you don't deserve it. Well what will the world be like when our doors are closed. When the U.S. brings our troops home and return our ships to port. When we finally close our borders and fortify our shores. When we cut off all communications with every other place. When Lady Liberty's light is put out and we pull in the welcome mat. What will the world do then, what will they think about that. When we finally give them what they have been asking for and their left with China and Iran. Do you think they will finally get it, do you think they will understand. When the United Nations is no longer welcome here. When we freedom loving people, say your on your own. When we take care of America first and the rest of the world be dammed. When America Closes it's doors then what will be their plan?
Perhaps it is time to bring our people home. Perhaps it is time for us to take a break. Let the rest of the world deal with it's own problems for a change. Then we shall see how much they really miss America.
