"Though I am small though I am poor / I am not squelched so easily / By you and your gospel of fear / Nor anyone under the sun"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1408:
I Too Am an American

Do you think if you threaten me
Then frightened I will speak no more?
It should not be that easy for
Mongers of fear who will not hear

Though I am small though I am poor
I am not squelched so easily
By you and your gospel of fear
Nor anyone under the sun

You think I am under your gun?
No! I will speak as I see fit
And finish what I have begun
I suggest you get used to it

Save your threats intolerant man:
I too am an American

Steven I too give you a standing ovation for this brave, outgoing, and truthful poetic piece. Fear mongers of the world have no idea what life is all about, because they are way too busy causing trouble. TRYING to make us afraid...one fear monger terrified me almost to death when she was alive (my mother)...then came the fear mongers in the guise of treatment centers, but in stark reality, they are places that cause and attempt to cause fear in the very depths of American souls. I am proud to call myself and American, and I believe in the freedoms that our fighting men and women have given their lives for, so that I can be me. So I echo everyone here brother of mine. This is a very good piece. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

As you say Steven each of us (Canadians too) all have a right to speak our minds and no man should try to disallow that.
