Listen to poem:
America, fought by our brave fallen few, Our men and women who honored our flag, Our nation freedoms grow strong, Our government is thought to be a democracy, gangocracy or mobocracy, Our impetus, the Napoleonic Wars when Latin America became republics, Our consequence is a country that has a fair representation of its people, Our forefathers who created, the US Constitution and defined quite clear, Our nation is a Republic, one under God, Our laws make us great as if written by pencil where we can erase, Our wrongs can be amended, Our rights will protect us, America is truly blessed. 2020 January 02 *2nd Place* Whitman-Inspired Uplifting Poetry, old or new Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire

William - Congratulations on your win. I love the way to point out that we are a republic with "laws" that can be changed with a pencil. Really wonderful image.

This is a great poem! I love how you talk about laws, "we can erase," is immediately followed by our ability to make amends. This is brilliant and patriotic!
