Wake Up America

It is time to wake up and take this Country forward to something we can be Proud of.

Wake Up America

 

As a Nation we need to heed this call.

Do you remember the words,

"United we stand, Divided we fall

As a Nation our lack of morality seems to say…

Don’t worry about the people you walk on along the way…

As long as we do what we must to succeed…

Why bother to look at what we hoard with such greed…

Look at the dollar that sold our children out…

"In God we trust" so is there any doubt…

We have children with no sense of right or wrong…

I can’t believe we have let it go on so long…

We took the Lord’s prayer out of public school…

And children have nothing to believe in, no golden rule…

It’s time to make a change, but we must all do out part…

Look out for each other and open our heart…

Let the gangs know their reign of terror has come to an end…

Lets take back Civic Pride, Unite and Defend.

Nice..line eleven needs a [t] at the beginning of the sentence. You missed it. Your grand pa sounds like my father. he was the greatest man I ever knew. This is like two separate poems..The one about your grand dad and then the one about the Lord. Standing up for right is not always easy today. More and more people have sold their souls to the devil and just do not care if they kill, rob or destroy..If all people respected each other and kept to their selves instead of joing gangs and running wild the world would be a much better place,,Different from you but I like it very much..Valentine

great poem... glad to hear you have something to stand for. I believe in fighting for what is right when it is a black and white issue like murder, pornography, drugs, gangs etc... though the word "moral" gets thrown around alot, i think some issues (though they really are black and white for some) are really grey to others, and in those issues i don't believe in fighting. I think love can change just as much as fighting though i am sure (from what i have read) you are all about love haha... again great write... its always good to see someone write about something like this with courage rather than hold it back in fear of what many may think
