Worked, played, napped, read, ran, and just now I sat on this cool, exceptionally clear summer night listening to the distant fireworks of my small town. How could freedom not come to mind, but I’m concerned. As the rockets burst 10 blocks away my thoughts went to how freedom is abused and misused:
Always free to do what is right
In dungeon dark or Main Street bright
Don’t take license and act the fool
For righteousness use God’s gracious tool
Or else He’ll take it from us all
And great will be this nation’s fall
Which once so brightly shone for good

Not without fault or blemish there
But most citizens gave a care
Whereas now we say right is wrong
Parade evil in our law and song
Oh, once free land turn back to God
Give freedom more than a yearly nod
