| Is Your Flag Tattered? |  |
| Is your flag tattered?
When the towers fell.
Our world was shattered.
Back then we understood.
We, knew what Mattered.
Up the staff Ol' Glory went.
On every home she stood.
Bowed maybe and a little bent.
Bright the colors Grow.
And strong the message sent.
Now that time has passed.
Memories have begun to fade.
Nothing fleeting can last
Patriot's blood washed away.
Cares have pasted from their graves.
Short years ago your blood did boil.
Fervor today has begun to slow.
For the cause many did toil.
Again I ask what Matters?
