We have our faults and failings;
Our mistakes are
quite a few.
Our demigods have disappointed us
And
left society askew.
We've cleaned up some injustices
And created as many more
To found a sustainable
independence
who many might deplore.
We've poked our
nose in skirmishes
When innocents cried out in pain
Which sometimes found us more wrong than right,
Yet we'd
do it all again.
We don't stand idle to injustice,
At
least not for very long
Especially when the battle
Is
the weak against the strong.
You see, we are the doers -
Defending those with lesser fights,
So that they have the
privilege of
protest as their God given right.
Our
forefathers fought and died
For the privileges of a few,
So that they might enjoy the freedoms
That they
persistently pursue.
There is no other nation under God
Who grants more liberties
And swings open its doors in
welcome relief
To those who demand to be free.
So, we
ask for an appreciation
Of where one man's rights may
end,
So as to not infringe on another's
Where they may
lawfully begin.
For you have choices, as do we,
To
stay or go from these hallowed shores
And pursue the
unfulfilled dreams
That you may wish to explore.
But
I'll take America with all her faults
And all she has yet
to discern
Just because I know she is trying
To master
the lessons she has yet to learn.
