Honour, Peace, and National Pride <br />For these convictions our founders died <br />But the time for convictions has come to pass <br />The time of deceit, here at last. <br /> <br />The children they no longer pray <br />For Daddy leaves again today <br />Brother steals and mommy lies <br />And on this day our nation dies <br /> <br />The sun once bright upon the sky <br />Now sets and its our dreams that die <br />The acid rain that falls today <br />Comes to wash our hope away <br />For this once a land of hope and peace <br />Now the circle of death will never cease<br /><br />Justin Baird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-conclusion-of-progress-and-the-end-of-community/
