The Final Word

We set upon a journey That would make us great We decided to love our neighbors Instead of embracing hate We opened our hearts to the poor A roof over every head We measured our speech Considering what we said Discriminating unacceptable Not afraid of history Truth not a fabrication Helping others our ministry We took back handouts The rich had enough Money for education medicine and other stuff We protested for others Sacrificing what we could It was not just about us We considered the greater good Right mixed with left Divisions all blurred America became Great! “We the People” had the final word. The above is my hope for America.

America is already becoming 'Great' again...and about time too. Nobody who values freedom and democracy wants a weak America. Nicely penned, Richard! :) john

Hello Richard, it’s like a gentle yet firm call to action for truth and working for the greater good is more than aspiration for it’s a ministry. I share your hope that “We the People” will indeed have the final word and that the divisions that hurt us can give way to a shared purpose grounded in care and humanity. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
