Notes About The Poem

Our nation is at odds once again, the job of the president is to uphold and defend the tenets of our constitution which our founding fathers intended. Our country has been weakend and compromised for too long, isn't it time we unite instead of fight?

Civil War Revisited

A nation in crisis
                                       Democracy in divide
                                       Repudiating solution
                                       Political pride

                                       Democracy in divide
                                       Dissolution and havoc
                                       Political pride
                                       Absence of civility

                                       Dissolution and havoc
                                       A high price to pay
                                       Absence of civility
                                       Constitutional discord

                                       A high price to pay
                                       Repudiating solution
                                       Constitutional discord
                                       A nation in crisis
