An American Christmas Present

Tis an Christmas proud wish ‘To Be’ presence
Within an miracle pride, America ‘Bee’ present
Where mid New Year resident, true grit precedence
WE sign Our Declaration of Independence - Will.

That no one, shall abridge, Our Divine Rights
Of Governance, amid People voting their Conscience
Whence baton be passed on, in New Year resolutions
When WE stand up, being Guardian Patriotic disciples.

Wherein each passing generation, Our seed germinates
The American Christmas preponderance of civil strength
Where Our Democracy, WE bud anew, branches of Freedom
That has no Master slaves, to be obedient clone followers

Mon Amie, We are the wry Wind that plies the open skies.
We are the stars sailing the universe that writes the verse
To Our Star Spangle Banner, Free fluttering un-tethered
We are talons of breathing Constitution of Representation

Unrestrained from Autocrat Politicians, who be Morticians
Who taketh away that Christmas Present, New Year Future.
We Will naught have One Party take away Our America
So One Man, can rule in Absolute Dictatorial Crass Privilege.

That is why each New Year, we must reaffirm our diligence
Taking reigns of Our Free Speech verbiage dialog precipitance
To speak out, taking over Free Press that surrender capitulated
That WaterGate Pulitzer prize or Public Service, WE once had.

Meek are those, who follow One Man, or Woman Pied Piper tweets
Who do bidding of tyrants, who getting caught, be excommunicated
Such are human Mountains, Giants stand on to gain Napoleon fame
Wherein Our pawns, in Chess Game Domino - United States Falls.

So what Christmas Present will YOU bring forward to America
In a New Year Presence that fails US or in Might - Will save US.
