Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

The New Leader

Too many 
flags flying overhead
Too much 
    false patriotism
There is a deeper optimism
which we can realize 
if you look 
   into the soul 
      of our
200 year old country
      life 
blooms 
     on the 
other side ot the 
   fence
      yes, let's dance
around a maypole
   For you see, 
       it's time to 
win 
   the battle 
    for AMERICA
