Dark Winds Over America

We feel the shadows growing over our fair land A land which should show it's power and glory to the world A sinister chill in the air as the land becomes engulfed in racial and religious strife Dark winds over America Shining lights in our harbors are dimmed by clouds of fear as jets fly over our cities our hopes freeze and will be remain frozen until the warmth of fellowship and reconciliation becomes one with the mountains and valleys of our land until joyous song resounds from the cities, the farms and fields and the mountains of America - this experiment in democracy which has endured for a couple of centuries so far

Hello, Matthew, I clicked on unread poems because that sounds so sad that nobody as read it yet. Or,maybe you just wrote it I can't tell because I don't see a date Anyway, I am proud to live in America the country that I love. Sure we have problems like any other country.Still aliens cross our borders and want to live here. So we must not be that bad! War will always be with us. But we are a strong nation and will fight to keep America free. Don't you agree? I stand up for America $ Salute it.
