Dangerous Visions
I see you and you see me.
We are not free anymore.
Or at least that is your intent.
You place the bonds...
you brought with you,
on all that will willingly take them...
However, you are about to find,
that there are still some,
in fact many,
that will not.
Our flag is important...
to US(a). All of US(a).
Do not stomp on her colors.
They do not run,
they fight.
No assimilation;
as it will be met with a force,
greater than expected.
Stronger than determined
possible, by deplorable,
underlings.
We don't want your ways.
We have our own.
They are not perfect,
but they are... Ours!
That is why,
every country in the world,
wants to be like us,
wants to be us.
Their citizens are starving,
they are unsafe.
They are crying,
about death and mutilations,
over religions that kill,
by the force of a dark will,
not even their own.
Wake up!
Our country sets you free.
That is the promise of this land.
Race, creed and color,
a story that is still being written,
even as they fight...
to erase it from existence.
Stronger by far,
a group of unlikely patriots,
that feel deeply about their families,
their Country
and their God.
Everyday citizens...
that have found,
true connection,
with what is,
and was important,
Freedom.
