Beloved country
rivers of discontent swirl
around thy feet

lift up thy head-
though bloodied by senseless strife
thy faith shall save thee

look inward kindly
comfort thy angry children
with motherly love

look to the future
thy greatness is yet to come
from blood and dark trial

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

If only we as Americans would understand this. Our worst enemy sadly is ourselves with our apathy. Great piece, it made me think!

I can tell how much you love your country from this poem, Pegasus.. if only there were so many more ppl who loved like you do, mm?
Well written and happily devoured.
