Keeping the Record Straight
Dear: John, Oh no! Jane
On the wings of Blue Angels I have sent my love to you
But, you liken them to demons and sent yourself to running so desperately
Trying not to be caught up
So I pleaded for them to stop
I told them not to chase after you, for fear that you might stumble and then fall
so they gave up the chase
I will deliver it my own damned self
When released from these afflictions of these money grubbing politicians
and
Then I can delivery it face to face, heavy battling is now what is taken place
both here and now and in the recesses of my heart
For if I don't return and soon I could not survive my souls, never ending chase
It is a train killer now that we both have come to know, for I was taught to solider for what I love
For you my lovely wife and our children
or
For our great country there
or
Be it only maybe, only for our
Lovely Lady Liberty
In who we both love so much
For I am an American Solider
My mothers only son and my father's pride and joy
I am your husband, our children's father and a brother to
I am here doing what it is I need to do, for if not me then who?
I will risk my life, my limbs, and being in the here and now, with you
For oppression is our enemy, injustice is the cry to battle
Equality is the goal and harmony is my, our fathers' dream
So I will fight and die and solider where I am told to go
Dear heart I never meant to leave you there alone
But, in this I trust, you my loved ones and my fellow Americans
In this most of all that you will keep our memories true and just
Keep it, the record straight, clear and clean
Do not allow the dreamer's dream to become perverse, twisted, and/or misconstrued
For my life is most valuable to me and to you
So you listen to me dear, don't you dare try that Dear: John thing
Ever again
I'll be home very soon, and all these things I do are because of you
I love you all, I will always love you: John
