MERCY GATE
Dr Joseph Luxum
America needs no doctrines, but mercy
It needs compassion, no more smug conceit
It needs refinement in things that made it
America the great exceeding the ages
The forces within that make it crumble
With careless reflections on history’s past
Make no provision for history’s hope…
The columns of freedom begin to falter
The worm beneath them gorged on its spoils
Meant to endure for epochs of time
Now not considered, estranged tomorrow
Much less to prolong the founders’ legacy
With ardor they strived to build a better life
For self and those that would embrace
The values of freedom, mercy and grace
Which made this nation home of the brave
