My Beloved America

Something cries deep within the heart of me
for the fate of this dear land where I live free
So many perils are there to endanger us all,
freedom teeters, is in danger to one day fall

My feet have marched, my wheels have rolled
to keep all men free in this nation's sweet fold
My voice have I often raised in chant and song
to fight for this land to stay solid and strong

For men of every color, race and ethnicity 
have I given my strength for shared diversity
No walls will this old heart support or tolerate
for enemies live within with their evil and hate



There is a blight on America and its at our head,
if not stopped, we might all find ourselves dead

Nicely penned, Sherry. Rhythmic messaging. Soft cadence, ever so strident! Best wishes, Gershon

Thank you for your great review. People call me a worrier - but now more and more people are beginning to see what is amassing...chaos and possible war.

Aha, a political missive from an advocate. Well done, indeed, Sherry. I am enjoying the ending in particular.
