The Eagle

The legend's an old one
The purpose a bold one
As the Good and the Evil still war

But the battle's the same
It's still freedom we claim
And our rights we yearn to restore

Our God given rights
The base of our fights
The Eagle has snatched in it's claws

Due process a lack
In The Patriot Act
The hated Destroyer of laws

It's needed they say
With your rights you must pay
Our Homeland is under attack

We can see that it's so
But they think we don't know
It's the Eagle performing the sack

Our airports are seized
And the cowards are pleased
That the Eagle controls our sky

A new kind of protection
And terror detection
Powers the Eagle to fly

The wings cover light
It's a soul chilling sight
To those who are willing to see

That the Eagle has grown
And eats the seeds that we've sown
It's now deaf to our inalienable plea

Liberty blossomed from seeds
Where now there's just weeds
In fields that were plowed with our blood

The Eagle flies around
While we are earthbound
And our Constitution is trampled in mud

We will continue to battle
As we're not timid cattle
Fit only for the slaughter

Our rights can't be taken
The Eagle is mistaken
And our country has started to totter

For it's the People who rule
And if the Eagle's no fool
He will start to act with some care

That Great Bird of Prey
Will hear what we say
Or else be shot from the air

The Congress and POTUS
The Senate and SCOTUS
Can consider themselves being warned

Lest they forget
Their jobs come with debt
And these angry cattle are horned
