American Diversity

Listen to poem:
Now and then I meditate
I take some time to contemplate 
Why this nation is so great today.
The answer's in our souls and hearts.
The whole is greater then it's parts.
It is the people of the U.S.A.

Such diversity. All races religions languages 
That's who I am
We're ALL American.

From the War of Independence through every administration
Took awhile till everyone was free.
From King George throughout the ages
We're a land of immigration
E Pluribus Unum is our creed.

And one thing is true.
Does not matter if you're red or blue.
Let's compromise.
Be purple,gals and guys.
Yes,this is who I am
WE'RE ALL AMERICAN!

I appreciate your message and enjoyed the poem, Joe. Unfortunately, it exceeds the 4-14 line limit posted for this contest. Otherwise, it would have placed higher. Congrats on your honorable mention. Best wishes, Carolyn

You are a man with true vision, while Trump and his lemmings only cause more division. I appreciate your viewpoint, Joe.

Sadly, I do not think the current president shares the same views.... But your poem is great unity.
