*For America For Bin Laden and for Jonathan C. Franco...you’re welcome.* "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall Deal; Let the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on.” -Genesis 3:15 Thro’ the perilous fight How we forget flesh and bone that rot in history’s unmarked grave in oceans white with foam. A woman weeps over his body so undeserving of the dead. But evil is not snuffed out by a bullet to the head. An eye for an eye is blind Oh say can you see? As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free. May God bless America. Justice has been done. Glory, glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
