Today is our country's birthday.
*America* *The Beautiful* *By Barbara Lynn Terry* *To my country I swear my allegiance,* *To my God I swear my soul,* *To my family I swear protection,* *And to myself I swear never to be alone.* *Our country has fought and fought,* *All over this small planet, third from the sun,* *Trying to bring peace and freedom* *To those who have none.* *Our military has suffered, as well as the people,* *Our land has been denied by those here born,* *And has been scandalized throughout the world,* *And yet we stand tall, our heads held high.* *We are the* *United States of America, Our colors never run,* *We are the land of the free,* *Opportunity* *and hope.* *Today we celebrate her glorious birthday,* *And know that many more will come,* *And we will have the courage to face* *Our enemies with brave determination.* *So I say without reservation,* *Happy birthday* *America, This 4^th day of July, 2007.*

"America The Beautiful" is a Paean to creativity and to celebrate "America The Beautiful".

Let us not forget that Sovereignty is People�s Right; that SOVEREIGNTY Ends at Frontier line of Our Neighbor; that The Executive Office of Our Nation and its affiliated branches of Government exist under Our SOVEREIGNTY.

>>>>>>>Tolerate not.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Omission is a crime!

Please read the FIRST paragraph of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDECE,
and THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

May the light of JUSTICE and knowledge of social responsibility dwell in our hearts.

Thank You, Poet.
