These States United - Part I

A watchful white Dove patiently hovers high slowly, high up above as One of the forgotten few Look down from the Great Golden Bird's Eye view sigh sigh sigh try not to cry why why why is there a teardrop in your Golden eye try try try try not to choke on the clouds or on the smoke Fly on your heartbroken Paternal Wing so tried and true not so fast past the Golden King that we once loved that we once knew there falls the red, the white, and the beautiful blue teardrop - so long so long overdue What a worthwhile journey A poor Pilgrim's passage through Blood-soaked stripes taint pale me and Americans of all types of all shapes, sizes, and colors and they also paint a colorful you oh yes, you yes, you too! They Are Coming! to paint you a somber more forgiving hue Hear the Golden bagpipes Play for us now Songs of a Nation that we cannot replace The Star Spangled Banner God Bless America and Amazing Grace Pray for us now God, George, save our Golden Face Save our Sacred place On Earth As it is in Heaven Where dreams renew Where our Golden Eagle Once so gracefully flew Soar into Heavens of unthinkable unsinkable unreachable heights Through the fears the tears and for over 200 years of a bloodstained star struck history which is reflected in our and our older brother’s bloodshot eyes yet still remains a mystery
