HEROES OF TODAY

 

It was a snowy day in Oregon

People gathered to march and pray

For a simple Ranching Family

Who were being sent away

By a group of politicians

Who have lied, entrapped and seized

The land of our Inheritance

For their own families

The greed, the pain the sorrow

Caused us all to mourn

For the Ranching Hammond Family

Our loyalty was torn

Do we just follow orders?

And obey the Laws they make?

Even though Unconstitutional

Or a Hard Stand will we Take?

There arose a valiant soldier

One who dared to take a stand

To try to make the difference

And protect his fellow man.

There was pleading to the Sheriff

A Redress of Grievance Filed

Though tens of thousands signed it

Ignored, left in a pile.

How could the Judge and Jury

Convict the innocent men

Who already served a sentence

Now were sentenced once again?

Where is our Constitution?

Where are our soldiers true?

Who fought the land of England

For Freedom for me and you?

To the Refuge we did travel

America must understand

It would have to be dynamic

To get the Press to be on hand.

There had been a Battle at Bunkerville

Just a couple years before

When many Federal Agents

Hired Contract Cowboys and more

To assault the Bundy family

Steal their Cattle and their land

To make a real example

Of those who dared to Stand

Against the Federal Government

Who’ve become the Tyrants wild

Hip chucked your Aunt and sister

Then attacked and tazed your child

The people in this Nation

 Couldn’t take it any more

As they watched in awful horror

Is America again at War?

Brave people began to travel

Thousands of miles it was for some

They would stand united, together

Selflessly, protecting the One!

With love and faith and courage

From the world, the cry arose

And “We The People” bowed our heads

Our Father we imposed

We faced the Federal Army

They were Armed from head to toe

Defending Stolen Cattle

From American’s they didn’t know

Backing down was not an option

We would wait ‘til they were gone

As the Sheriff and politicians

Realized that they were wrong

With the Sheriff’s as their escorts

All the Agents in retreat

The Bundy Family Cowboys followed

As their cattle were released

The New American Hero

Was the cry in all the West!

Cliven had been preaching for years

“The Constitution is the BEST!”

Now with undercover agents

Their deceitfulness and lies

There are many men entrapped

Our own people used as spies

They feared the Bundy Family

Would teach us our Natural Rights

Afforded by  Constitution

Americans would stand and fight

LaVoy was the best student

Of the Constitution class

His voice rang strong and true

They couldn’t let him pass

They called it all a Virus

Spreading across this land

And they weren’t about to let it

So they landed a heavy hand.

I was there to be a witness

Ryan Payne stood to defend

Bullets flying furiously

We thought would never end.

LaVoy was trying to decoy

The bullets from the Truck

Where they’d set a kill box

4’ ft. snow the truck was stuck.

Trapped inside we witnessed

LaVoy shot in deep snow

Three bullets in his back

He had no place to go

Bullets pierced the cab

Ryan Bundy catching one

In his right shoulder only

We had no place to run

Kidnapped without a warrant

Hauled to a Federal Jail

Secluded from friends and Family

Being held without a bail

Threatened, Starved and Tortured

Solitary and confined

Strip searches done continuously

So many people blind

This Country was made by Heroes

Who dared to take a stand

Against an oppressive Government

That’s how we won this land

There are still many heroes

Fighting for our Liberty

And without the Hand of God             

Our Freedom’s would not be
