White House

Built by the tired hands Many from far off lands Taken away from farm and spouse Yet they built the sacred House A house leased for 4-year terms Unique privilege to be confirmed To an American deemed fit Compassionate, patriot and have wit Tradition is the code here Simple decent and austere Wisdom learnt from many battles And a constitution sound and moral Enshrined we were born free It was the heartbeat of democracy There were periods of stress Staunchly addressed by the noblesse Fiercely defended by the have-nots I implore everyone to see the plots In a national cemetery And behold what it means to be free

A privilege to be free and grateful for those who made / make it possible. Interesting write Amanullah. The House built by people taken from their lands and families, to finally be freed. :)
