STAND UP, AMERICA!

August 11, 2003

Stand up, America; Stand up and Fight!
Why sit we silent, awaiting endless night?
God has shown the way; provided perfect light
As He sent his only Son, demonstrating right.

So why sit we here, subjecting people’s minds
To movies, media, videos of such salacious kinds?
Making people human side-shows, while we wear moral blinds;
Do we not know the nation goes, as go the people’s minds?

Nations never have gone straight by watching crooked sticks
Demonstrating violence and perverted sexual tricks,
Teaching them to lie their way out of any fix;
None of which Truth would call "character building bricks"!

Let us Stand and speak our views to sponsors of these shows;
It is our right, and duty too, to guide the way our nation goes;
To undermine the minds of men makes sponsors into foes,
Partners to Ben Laden, and all who wish us woes.

Nor are we any better as we sit silent here,
Watching our mores decline throughout each passing year;
It’s time to speak our minds and let the nations hear
That we want good and wholesome shows that we can all revere.

For every man turns out to be like thoughts within his heart,
We cannot bask in things we see and hope to play another part,
So parent, pastor, teacher, friend, it’s time for us to start
Providing our whole nation with improved learning art.
