Freedom ( Of Speech ) by Anthony Lane Stahlhut

Cindy Sheehan has a right,
to say what ever she will.
We live in a country that allows,
her voice to be heard still.

She lost a son in this war
and wonders if we can win.
Or if the death of her son,
will be in vain in the end!

I was not eager for the fight
and hoped to find a peaceful way out.
Now that we are there, we should stay.
Leaving sends the wrong message, no doubt.

If they think, they ran us off,
they might come over here again.
Stronger because they feel they have won
and all hell, will break out then.

Its better to finish what we started,
than to leave things unfinished and undone.
Help them to get everything going,
a better chance for the freedom they've won.

We can't back down to the tyrants,
or they will continue trying to rule.
Sending out assassins for the innocent.
Strap a bomb on the back of a fool!

Unfortunately some of the soldiers die.
Their family's left alone to grieve.
They entered the service to protect freedom
and to stand up for what they believe.

Though sad, dying on the battlefield,
They have won just by standing to fight.
You cannot really be a free man,
unless you do what you know is right.

So I'm sorry that it has started,
and for those whom don't return, we send.
To stop now would be inviting trouble,
so we better see it through to the end!
