A thank you note to the Founding Fathers

I thank you forefathers for fighting for our rights For sharpening the steel of your swords to shed blood For loading barrels of your guns, setting the sights For dipping quill in the inkwell of Libertys God For you stood your ground, for truth, freedom and honor I thank you for the bill of rights you left behind That we should live as free men who dare yet to soar Even if the chaos of our times is unkind I thank you Jefferson, Washington and Adams I thank you Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, Jay That we are not yet fooled like the mindless meek lambs But are bold eagles, hunting in the light of day Thank you, founding fathers of these United States Seven key men who the shadows of Rome foresaw Thank you for your foresight, knowing mans petty traits And writing the keys to our freedom into law.
