Awaken America Awaken

Awaken America, Awaken.  Why do you fret?
We allowed our rights to be taken; inevitably 
giving rise to our nations demise.  Our
inalienable rights are at stake in these United
States; our legitimate claim.  But, all is not lost,
at least, not yet.

Awaken America, awaken, or more shall
unfold, just as our forefathers foretold.  Have we
forgotten what our nation was founded upon;
what made us great?  Continuing at this pace,
it is only a matter of time before all our liberty
will be taken.

Awaken America, awaken.  All nations have
problems to solve; we are not exempt.  Have
we forgotten, regardless of our differences, we
are one people; one nation?  Have we forgotten 
there is no justice without judgement.

Awaken America, awaken.  There are those
who choose no refrain; forcing views not
shared by the nation as a whole.  Yet we live as
victims of egregious systems; seen as weak and
conditioned to believe everything is out of control 
and beyond repair.

Awaken America, awaken, or repercussions 
we will continue to see, until we stand firm
and fight once again to be free; one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice 
for all.

I totally agree Madalyn, we are asleep while our Constitution is slowly getting eroded little by little! Powerful truthful words in your poem!:)
