James 3:16

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.


Poem Artwork

Our country tis of thee, Great land of Liberty

Of thee I sing

One national, under God and built on high ideals

It’s a country stressing freedom and justice and to us this  appeals

In times like these we must examine our hearts and our desires

A nation cannot survive when into our hearts envy grows like destructive fires

Let us ask our leaders not to succumb to personal ambition

Or to build their careers on platforms built on destructive contention

For these produce destruction built on hate, greed and friction

It is Men driven by envy, jealousy living on livelihoods built on contention

Will we someday learn that these disparaging forces lead to ultimate destruction?

For these harmful forces can only serve to drive people further apart

Let us bring ourselves together in prayers of unison, built on loving, kind and gracious hearts

Let us all come together and live as we sing songs of patriotism

Let us live in unity serving God and serving in total and united nationalism

For our country has a future, let us build on our forefathers wisdom

A strength that will keep us indivisible for generations to come
