The Road That Was Supposed To Be!

 
                             By:  Cambren A. Hoyt
 
 
                             It was a long time ago
                             1943,
                             You promised a road
                             That was supposed to be.
 
                             Families were moved
                             It wasn't their fault,
                             The construction began
                             But it came to a halt.
 
                             There were men over seas
                             Fighting for you,
                             Their land was stolen
                             But nothing they could do.
 
                             They were promised a road
                             To their land that was lost,
                             But it's 63 years later
                             And they've been double-crossed.
 
                             They believed in our government
                             And the contract in hand, 
                             But the promise was broken
                             Now we're taking a stand.
 
                             There were sacrifices made
                             For the country we love,
                             Now please finish the road
                             For those in heaven above!
