Poem
Some young people just don’t seem to know
that freedom is the only way to go.
With minds addled by tired lies,
and not experience enough to realize
that when everything is said and done,
America is made of awesome.

They’re told to fixate and lock in
on only our past mistakes and sins.
They rant about how we had slaves,
forgetting we fought to end that plague.
Did the Romans ever do that much?
Did the Byzantines or other such
great empires of the eons passed
ever bother to get off their ass?
Did the Arabs or Turks free such men?
Hell no, they enslaved more than Europeans!
And even now, in this present day
the Islamists still claim God allows slaves?!

But our nation from the beginning
knew freedom’s fight was worth winning.
Eighty years of struggle, at high cost,
but freedom won, and bondage lost.

It was not the only battle fought,
or the only harsh lesson taught.
We made mistakes with the Indians,
but now we call them countrymen.
Women once knew not the vote,
now of this and more they boast.
Jim Crow once claimed southern lands,
so we ran it down, despite Democratic hands
holding up the great, finishing blow,
but they failed at that, now it’s no more.
Against external foes we soldiered on,
from Nazi filth to Socialist thralls.
The Nazis we put in the grave,
and outlasted the Reds until they caved
into the crushing, inevitably misery
that always follows their ideology.

The trend I think is plain to see,
when evil rises, so do we.
Though it may take years, even decades
we push on until it is unmade.
This is what our schools should teach,
and people everywhere should preach.
To reject it all due to past mistakes,
a certain type of fool it takes.
To expect perfection from a species flawed
goes against human nature’s laws.
Be glad your nation still fights wrong
when most go along to get along…

But enough of redigesting old days gone,
let’s go on to what makes us awesome…

CONCLUDES IN PART II.
