Beloved Nation

It's not your America or my America, but our America. Not a white, red black, Latino, or an Asian America, but a multi-colored America... Not a straight, gay or bi America, but an equal America... Not an America for men or one strictly for women, but an equitable America for both sexes... Not an America for the wealthy or middle class, nor one that ignores the poor – but an America without castes... Not an America for the privileged, but an America that privileges the hard-working and creates opportunities... Not a Christian, Islamic, Jewish, or agnostic America, but an America of vast traditions and faiths... Not an exclusive or elitist America, but a leading and welcoming America... It's not a Republican, Independent, or America of Democrats. No, it’s The People who make up America... And as long as We - Her beloved sons and daughters - Never mock equality, freedom, and justice then our fair country, shall stand tall and united as one America.
