You think about the Alamo San Antonio, Teas in 1836 Just a little bump in the course of man Who were all those that died Their families, too, what did they do? On both sides of the issue It’s like a song you sing and forget Nothing concerning you, so no regrets Fight for land takes many lives History reports and sometimes lies We have the land What was the cost? If you’re the winner How much was lost? All over the world, the struggle for freedom is Something we cannot ignore Footnotes in books Will we forget? What drove them to our shore? Do we all have a part in moving ahead? Can we leave it to just a few? Pay attention and do your part Or we’ll lose and nothing you can do It may sound simple, but the words have truth We’re in a parade that is never over When we’re through with something on our list It’s replaced by three or four more Stay awake and be alert There’s an end, but first a start Think about Teas a long time ago Be willing to do your part Stanski April 12, 2020 ^
