The Declaration of Independence
Was an expression of the American mind
Of those schooled by the Scottish Common Sense
It is based on Christians writers of the time
Their principle tenets of persistence
Were straight forward- There is a God!
Who wrote upon each heart, a conscience
To base each choice, and create law
This being true, Thomas Jefferson knew
Reason and revelation do not conflict
Though one's thoughts corrupt and judgments eschew
Laws of nature and inspiration do not contradict
The Jefferson Lies
