Sit to Rise

Sit and just follow me.
Our soldiers are leaping,
And everyone is sleeping.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Go! and traverse the sea.
Liberty is fighting and crying
And Striving and dying.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Listen! And perceive the history.
The war is never ending.
Yet, we keep sending.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Realize! And don’t try to flee.
The truth is hurting,
And our acceptance deserting.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Look! And just try to see.
The Pain is feeding,
And we are bleeding.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Count! And take tally.
The years keep stacking,
And the deaths are racking.
Is this how it is supposed to be?

Wait! And understand me.
To fight the fight I am not trying,
But through America bullets are flying.
Is this how its supposed to be?

Now rise! For we must rally.
To save our heroes I am desiring.
Now is the time to fight the firing.
This is how it is going to be!

This will certify that the above work is completely original. Garrett Snipes
