America the Beautiful
and Our Unfinished Symphony
There is no place on Earth that is perfect in every way.
Not in its history, its beauty, its challenges or its potential.
But God gave us a diamond in the rough, and He expects us
to use the skills, the talents, and the creativity He instilled
in us to cut, polish, and refine His
unfinished handiwork.
Few choices in our testing grounds are
either/or—with no middle ground. But this time,
there are no sidelines, no bleachers, and
no place to hide.
You’re either for America and her potential, or you’re not.
Today our land, our people, our history, and our heritage
are under attack as never before.
Our task is personal, not to perfect America,
but to protect her from enemies and intruders masquerading
as patriots from within, pretenders who
want to build a throne for felons to honor their greed
and their selfishness.
Not on our dime, and not on our time.
We have been awakened, we are alive with passions
and we have the will to bring this challenge home to victory.
Destroy our institutions?
Replace our skilled patriots with know-nothing
demagogues? Steal from our savings and health care accounts
to enrich the ultra-wealthy even more?
No thanks.
There is but a thin line between liars and cheats,
those who have reaped the bounty while giving
nothing in return.
We are not fooled by such deceits.
As long as there is blood in our veins, with history,
honor and God to guide us,
We will take our place alongside every patriot who
ever crossed this land
Who more than self their country loved
and mercy more than life.
We will fight you with every fiber of our beings.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
