A Poetic Journey Through American History

Aboriginal tribes, ancient and free, Bold explorers sailed ‘cross the vast sea. Colonial dreams, a new world’s birth, Devout pilgrims, a holy rebirth. Emancipation’s fight, a nation’s test, Freedom’s beacon, forever the best. Great minds convened, a framework to frame, Human rights secured, liberty’s aim. Immense territory, a nation’s expanse, Joint efforts waged, a defiant stance. Keen Monroe Doctrine, a hemispheric shield, Land’s westward march, a battle afield. Mining for fortune, a golden desire, Nation divided, a civil fire. Ordeal endured, a nation’s renewal, Powerful industry, of immense capital. Quest for reform, a progressive age, Raging World War, a historic stage. Suffering nation, a desperate plight, Transformation’s hope, a guiding light. United we stand, a global might, Voices united, a civil right. War’s tragic toll, a nation’s strife, Xenophobia’s stain, a troubled life. Yearly sorrow, a nation’s wound, Zero tolerance, a pandemic’s sound.
