A Constitution Resolution |
 |
|
More than two hundred years have passed
And it has withstood the test -
A timeless writ of foresight -
Though not perfect, still the best.
Those words upon that parchment
Promise equal rights to all -
Words inspired by mans need
To answer freedoms' call.
A prophecy of future ways
Which still works for us today -
(How did they know what to write
So it would turn out that way?).
Laws are changed and amended
If they people will it so -
But there are so few of them
We ever will outgrow.
It's been discussed and debated -
Interpreted differently -
But the basics remain the same -
Protecting the land of the free.
An unlimited guarantee
With no expiration date -
If those words had not been written
This world might face a different fate.
So let's celebrate and think about
The laws of this great land -
For without them all would be lost -
Wiped 'way by some tyrants' hand. |
