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.
