My Country Tis Of Thee

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

We must stop the One Man, hero worship that One Party has that will create Civil War, in a class struggle, within this nation's demise.

As long as one person believes in Democracy, it will never die out, in the inner spirit within humanity.

Upon Christmas and the Holidays, can WE bare the notion that in this nation, WE are Americans, first and foremost?

My Country Tis Of Thee

Amid Star Spangled Banner,
Must sing God Bless America,
To Pledge Allegiance naught to
Have coup overthrow this nation.

Inside these patriot proud heartbeats
We as a nation has inherited birthrights
Where conception of Democracy flourished
Upon Eagle talons, where Freedom takes flight.

We will not let Executive Privilege plight take
What America founded in a 1776 civilian fight
Only Dictatorships have absolute Executive privilege
America has balanced Scales of Justice to stop that.

For No One Man, nor Woman be made Supreme
Where they can have supporters overrun Capital
And taketh away, what Constitution has given us
By dividing this nation, within itself, being United -

States of Republican masters, who rule over us
And dominate working class that built up nation
So that One Man, One Party, One Select Group
Taketh the Vote that makes all Americans be equal.

No President has absolute White House authority
To hold the other branches, at bay, with privilege
We are a nation where Supreme Court must step up
The military must step in to defend Our Trilogy.

If one branch be weak, or one branch becomes too strong
It is duty of American citizens, to right the USS Constitution
For if we, do naught, Civil War will come to destroy us
Thereby it is imperative, We as a nation together - act now.

THS 1966 Poet


Amid Star Spangled Banner, must sing God Bless America, to Pledge Allegiance naught to have coup overthrow this nation.

I appreciate the Franklin quote. For too long, Congress has created a means for feathering its "citizen" lawmakers with lavish salaries and perks, making them some of the wealthiest citizens of the country. Far from the founding fathers' wish for short-term, gratis serving of the country from one's own resources like they did.

Money and corruption from the trickle down theory and tax laws supporting it has brought our nation's representatives into a compromise position where money is more important than critical issues. All claim this activity to be good because they are considered "free enterprise," and not communism, a very bad word, indeed.

Basically, we have reached the point where the rich and the poor are so far apart in income that antagonisms have grown to the point of your suggestion that Civil War may be on the brink. I hope not!
