Let Freedom Ring!

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: May 2, 2010

Once we've cleaned the clapper of our culture…

Much like the crack in freedom's bell
our nation's flawed. We know that well.
For what once rang with clarity
gongs muffled, out-of-tune.

The gleam is gone. What shone now rusts
as lewd behavior (fueled by lust)
corrodes our culture in the name of
"look how far we've come."

The facts contend we've fallen far.
We're hardly who we say we are.
Our hearts reveal the shameful truth.
We've turned out backs on God.

Convict us, Lord. Prompt us to change
and not defend what You deem strange.
Please purge us of what breaks Your heart.
God, bless America.
