Will our nation stand for what is right,
Or will it enter endless night?
Will we chose,
Or will we lose,
Religious freedom,
In our kingdom?
We must choose a path,
that is before us.
One is right,
the other brings endless night...

The author's comments:
I wrote this because of the upcoming elections... I can't vote yet... Wish I could... But mainly this was inspired by a Bible verse... It is 2 Chronicles 7:14. It says,"If my people who called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
