American Dream

Succeeding in everything you do

Not taking 'no' for an answer

Your people are smart and strong

Tackling every problem that will occur



The American Eagle flies

Spreading its wings looking over you

Do you think it is proud of this,

Or does it think its just a bird above?



The forests across the land

All have spirited and stories to tell

Would any of sit and listen

Or wait until each tree fell down?



The flag is mighty and strong

With meaning of very much

A symbol that people respect

But remember feelings and life attached



People of today should teach

What your children would love to learn

Remember the history and the nature

And let the fire of spirit burn bright

- the whole poem is the BOMB!!!....please.. no pun intended...

but these two phrases work so fucking well together.... because they both stand for this country, but one looks down on it, and one won't let them forget...

Congrats... one of my fav. poems I've read today.

The sprit of freedom makes men flock to the cause. To make sure it never fails. Even when war is knocking on our very door. FOr america has never faultered when time has come to meet war's callange. For freedom we have paid a high cost on forigen battlefields as well as at home.
