Glory

This sacred land is an oasis on Earth 
It’s accepting of all despite background or birth 

All our citizens are equal and this is our pride
So no one should expect to get a free ride 

The land of the free and the home of the brave 
We aren’t docile sheep and submissive slaves

We protect one another in spite of the cost
This connection ensures that our creed isn’t lost

We are happy to live in the land of the free
And so proudly we give what is necessary

Because we have each other no task is too tough
No pain lasts forever and no peace long enough

Together we will stand even stronger than steel
Divided we may crumble but we never kneel

Well-meaning rhyming couplets. Mr. Donald himself should read this and get some idea about what American values are.
