"Ode to Monuments"

It appears to me
And it's just an observation
That we build monuments
As a form of obfuscation
Because way way down
Way down deep inside
You and I both know
We ain't getting outta'here alive
But,yet, we build these monuments
To what might have been
If the man upstairs had any sentiments
And was really our kin
Anyway, we build them up to the sky
We build them to our deceased
We build them to try to buy
Front seating at the promised Big Feast!
But, it's all to no avail
And it matters not how often you fail
'Cause when it's all said and done
It only matters who YOU ultimately become!
In memory of Notre Dame....which I visited 50 yrs. ago

And a few verses from many years ago...
Now, only true insiders know which way to turn
As cities across the world are beginning to burn
As for the deep state elites, deception rules the day
But one thing for sure, we're all gonna' have to pay
Because for too long, we allowed politicians to sleep at the wheel
They paid us no attention, no matter our appeal
Even as we yelled,"Fire!" in the proverbial theater
Sorry, but the elites think they don't answer to a CREATOR!
And if you believe the lies of the socialist state
Well, then you have sealed your fate
Look across the "pond" we Americans call the Atlantic
People are in the streets & the banks are in a panic

Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time
And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline
People down in Florida can't be still
When ol' Lynyrd Skynrd's pickin' down in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillin'
Get down, well just get down chillin'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play
And there's ZZ Top and you can't forget
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
And all the good people down in Tennessee
Are diggin' barefoot Jerry and C.D.B
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillin'
Get down, well just get down chillin'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
