THE PATRIOTNever letting go
holding on to that last straw
not hesitating to say no
to each and every against the law
having many a foe
some searching for just one flaw
others marvel at honesty so.
Pesvering against all odds
believing that a reward might come
one day he might be called
even so vowing not to keep mum
refusing to be bribed
ridiculed by not just some
yet still exposing all fraud
Days turn into months
months into years
age is no longer a friend
poverty still a close companion
as the inevitable occurs
a funeral is held
the lost hero heralded
using the best coffin
the most expensive gravestone
and the most loving words
by the very people spoken against
vieled expressions of sadness
Forgotten in LIFERemembered at DEATH.
