Live For Your Country

What a patriot should be is based on a lie
Live for your Country for it do not die
Far too many mothers have wept for a dead son
Wars by dead heroes have never been won
Life is the greatest gift you do possess
Far greater than any other form of success
It is out of worship for dead heroes young heroes are made
More heroes enlisted in every war parade
Old war veterans refuse to leave war memories to fade
On their coat lapels their war medals displayed
All men grow older but few do grow wise
Every war parade to patriotism gives rise
What a patriot should be is based on a lie
Live for your Country for it do not die.
