Something’s missing in my lifetime. I’m a big believer in Space Exploration Especially when everyone is on board But before we start, Manifest Destiny Mars I’m thinking, as a US born citizen, Now, the year of 2025, that it is about time To think a little bolder and closer to home Earth first! It’s been a while since a star Has been added to the American Flag None so far in my lifetime It’s time a Referendum be made Signed into action by an incoming President Inviting any nation (especially Democratic) To JOIN the United States! Welcoming them to becoming the next state of the Union The next star! With all the rights and freedoms of the US Constitution With all the privileges of being a US citizen Expand our arms around the globe! MEGA MEGA Make Earth Great Again! All US territories, now states. More stars! Become a state and no more tariffs! More stars! Become a state and join the most powerful Growing technologically advanced country in the world More stars! Was once an enemy but now a friend, JOIN us and be a star! I see more and more stars in the near future. I see hundreds in the distance. A thousand points of Light. Hug the globe like a child, Citizen Set the world free, it’s in our nature. Our destiny Perhaps just call it fate, or our highest Calling To always come to the rescue When disaster strikes Earthling lives matter! Free all the people everywhere! Stars are circling my head I'm getting dizzy with hope Feeding the hungry and housing the poor is much easier When statehood is accomplished. Another star. And when a nation is freed from tyranny And US soldiers die and bleed for stars ... More Red and White stripes are added then too Perhaps there will be reasons for Rainbow stripes too Manifest Destiny Earth! First! MEGA MEGA And maybe one day, we'll all say, in one mighty voice, “God Bless the United States of Aerth!” *Aerth is the original spelling for Earth allowing sentiments to hold onto our Good Ol' USA traditional initials.

Thanks Mr. Tor (I love your last name by the way). I had fun writing this one. Some of it I really believe, some of it is straight up hooey.
