Poem Title:
Poem
Freedom foremost, and the will to fight to keep and protect our natural rights. Nightclubs, jello shots, disco balls mechanical bulls, beers cold and tall! Baseball, football, and basketball games, crazy rodeo riders on horses untamed. Books by the millions, more than can be read, and knowing anything can be by anyone said. Burgers on buns, potato and tortilla chips, yeah, those are American, born in Texas! Satirical cartoons, radio and TV, the magic that was Hollywood, as it used to be. Ragtime, Bee-bop, Rockabilly, and Jazz Swing, R & B, movie soundtracks, and Bluegrass. The warm blanket of country when feeling cold, the power and fury of rock and roll. The grind of hip-hop and of rap… on second thought, we apologize for that. But funk gets things all out of control, and who can say no to harmonious soul? Stream locomotives, tracks narrow and wide, flying machines that soar through the sky. The glorious art that is the western, and old Las Vegas, the moral tester. The miracle of southern barbeque, the burn of moonshine, or Mountain Dew. Soft ice crew and greasy-fast French fries, the expectation that politicians lie. Liberty in law deeply enshrined, muscle cars driving of the right side. Suburbs, cabins, farms and guns, and every legally available type of fun. Forests, combines, and big chain-saws, as well as full equality before the law. A vast landscape, awesome to see, an undying faith in our families. Art from great down to lackluster, recalls, vetos, and filibusters! Checks and balances on the powerful, we invented the internet, so things are never dull! Mountain bikes and rollers blades, fried chicken and biscuits, porterhouse steak. Diners, dairy bars and fast food, we walked on the friggin’ moon, and built the only probes that escaped into the void of interstellar space. I could go on, I am tempted to, but I think I’ve made my point to you, And when young fool have yelled there fill, reject their nonsense talk of “guilt.” All nations have screwed up, it’s so but perfection is something man never knows. This nation still tires to confront is sins, and brings forth profusions of great things. The scales upon which we are weighed, are ever clear in what they say: When it all is said and done, America is made of awesome.
