The Beautiful America
1789
To the beautiful America
Where people rejoice to be free.
To the beautiful America
Where soldiers fight for you, for me.
To the beautiful America
Where we fight for equality.
To the beautiful America
Where we strive for democracy.
To the beautiful America
Whereby the people are ruled.
To the beautiful America
Whereby justice is fueled.
2075
My once beautiful America
Where freedom is taken for granted.
My once beautiful America
Where our respect for veterans is slanted.
My once beautiful America
Where we have lost the right of defense.
My once beautiful America
Where we lack all common sense.
My once beautiful America
Where the people are divided.
My once beautiful America
Where left and right are no longer united.

Where did you go...?

This poem needs no apologies it is written with spirit, passion and much thought especially considering these dark days America has fallen to. Beautifully written and beautifully expressed, much love and the deepest of respect,

This is absolutely brilliant in its simplicity.
Where is my beautiful America? Now a place where the elderly who nurtured us are cast aside. And the killers who bleed and cry for us are considered embarrassing reminders of what is required for us genteel folks to live the good life
Where indeed, is my beautiful America?
