How far have we
progressed?
Have we covered our
ears so we can't
Hear the cries of
the dispossessed?
Have pages been
ripped out of history books
So that the people
cannot see
The struggles that
many undertook
To help to set all
people free?
A nation
"indivisible,
With liberty and
justice for all"
Can benefit at times
from a self-
Evaluative overhaul,
Or maybe from a look
in the mirror
To see whether the
image displayed
Truly represents the
picture
Of freedom meant to
be conveyed.
Through
irreconcilable differences,
Have we now become
divorced
From hopeful ideals
that early on
The shapers of our
nation endorsed?
Are we sincerely
looking within
Our hearts to make a
"more perfect" nation,
Or are we more
consumed with drawing
Attention to the
standing ovation?
Are we shutting the
door to the soul
Of America and
walling out
The power and
strength that forms the basis
Of what this country is
all about?
Let us not be
blindsided
By rogue forces that
hope to succeed
In weakening what
makes us strong,
Only to relish
watching us bleed.
