Poem Artwork

I am a free American
To vote my right and choose
I elect to make a difference
Whether they win or lose
I value all my freedoms
I'll fight with every breath
The foes who tempt this right to live
Until my mortal death
Independence made me
Attitude and all
Fearless Rebel is my spirit
Dignified and tall
I salute my birth with honor
As humble as a dare
As rockets turn red
The bombs burst in the air
To take up a terrorist dare
I am a free American
A little of this and that
Plenty of guts for glory
And free as a matter of fact
For all who tempt to disarm us
May your own dispair guide your tears
When again and again
Freedom still wins
With the Stars and Stripes that you fear.

Very patriotic. Every American loves the idea of sitting on his front porch with a rifle, protecting his home from marauders. Romantic, but flawed in reality.

Your continued use of the words "rebel" and "spirit" in so many of your poetry gives the reader an insight into your complete makeup, and that is a good thing.

Susan, Loyal American Thank you for GREAT words about the USA and what it offers. With all of its faults, where else on earth are we given the freedom to prosper, and strike against those who make us properous? Where we have freedom of speech for which we're so entitled, we no longer believe that's specail. And where we rave and rant against a government that's impossible to improve upon.
I wish you and all my friends at AD, a MOST MEANINGFUL 4TH OF JULY. Happy Birthday, Freedom ! ! ! - Bill
