ok before I you read the poem I want you to know I'm not anti-america or anything I'm anti-politics, and anti-american moral. In my eyes we are now no better than what we came from, we take without representation, our democracy has become something it was never intended to be. it's in the news each and every day another congress man gone astray what an example for all our children at the top is where downfall begins "my country tis of thee sweet land of liberty" liberty fading fast into the darkness of night yet we allow it to fall without a fight. let the poor get poorer and the rich get richer taxation without representation the new cry of our nation pay no mind to the minority those in need as long as you and your children you can feed. Injustic has now become justice you kill a baby and call it a choice no taxatation without out a voice! rape the childrens mind and say it's fine preach in the streets you call it a crime "oh beautiful for spacious skies" and multitudes upon multitudes of lies. tax cut and the building up of social security being given a sense of false liberty time and again promises made and broken words fall short of that which was spoken. "my country tis of the sweet land of liberty." we fall like the stars then rise like the sun..Repentence.Forgiveness.We are blame worthy hold us to our wrongs..but don't hold our wrongs against us |

Interesting write... I agree with most of it, though. Though it was quite well written, though. Good job. - Cody - |

Awesome poem! Not that I know anything about American politics, but in a way I can apply it to the True North Strong and Free. Sorry to say though, but Canada's got you beat on crap politians and such. You guys have it easy down there. We have to deal with issues such as when to put our senior citizens on ice floats and leave them there to float away (KIDDING!!! We don't do that!! And if you don't belive me, ask Regina.). Anyway, in all seriousness, your poem was filled with the many truths about this world and it can be applied to any country. Excellent write, as usual (I just love your poetry) "Amy, can you PLEASE come to Spain with us so that we have someone to keep Rhonda calm?" - Mr. Ardiel *insert hysterical laughter from me here* |

Very nicely done here. A lot of power within this poem. I used to write about such topics, it's good to see others doing so aswell.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

I do believe that everything stems from the original morals and values, if any was, installed on people when they are/were growing up. hi Sweets, Lizzy, Kris, Ina, Erin, Erica, Minna, Kit, Kamie, Javi, Jenn, Sharon, Nan, Cawlee, Cherish, Ashley, Sara, Justine, Leah, Jess, Kimmie, Mare |
