USA  United We Stand ~ Divided Did We Fall ? ? ?

 

 

 

United We Stand Divided Did We Fall ? ? ? I love my enemies for it takes two to fight But I can dislike my enemies actions for today it is still my right The future of this land that I hold so very dear at best is in question and so much I fear But the fat lady did sing the majority has spoken I just pray America's spirit will not be forever broken For the choice of my support I was called a racist bigot When race played no part when I marked my ticket Those who voted because of the color of his skin and dared to call me racist are the ones that carry the sin. This man who now is to lead this grand nation prior to his entry Well I really had no indication No track record deemed any public mention What was I to go by in voting in this election I would never vote party or stand silent on that day for those who wasted or did not vote well now you have nothing to say It always comes down to lesser of two evils for what is a campaigne promise are empty words given to the people For those who did not vote I shout "SHAME ON YOU" I'll never throw in the towel for my country my duty I will do. A person of color leading America how awesome this is to see It shows how far we have risen from the ashes of slavery But this nite I watched the returns announced and discovered Oh My precious Saviour It was all about race as I watched all the behavior This saddenes me so something so vital was upon race I thought we had come further for this I find total disgrace This man I must find within to support for me its a hard struggle but, one I can not abort For United we must be in taking each brothers hand standing shoulder to shoulder across this awesome land. Oh this man I so fear and the unknown that surrounds I fear the America we love is about to crumble down But my duty to my country is to somehow rally behind This new leader that was chosen God  PLEASE  guide him during this time Original by Donna DeLong Matthews November 2008 Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good, but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.   Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!' America the Beautiful Artist Ray Charles

Author's Note

All comments are welcome, but I do ask that you keep it
respectful as I feel I have presented my heart felt feelings and
views in a respectful manner to all sides.

Somehow this country has to find a way
unite again and become a strong nation
If Obama can do this then the right choice
was made. Only time will tell. I just pray
we have enough time.

God Bless our Beautiful America

Our New Leaders
My Fellow Citizens

Holy Smackamoly!
You have truly touched upon a very sad fact of life in the United States of America, racism still exists.
I am very happy for Obama, but I do not feel America's people are grown up enough to except this change. I too feel a lot of people on either side voted not for either candidate's credentials, but because of color, or lack there of. I could go on forever, so I will say this: This is my favorite poem of yours I have read to date. It is really a heartfelt piece that the reader can really pick up on.Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us and keep up the great work!
hugs

A very inspiring piece, but keep in mind that this does not rest upon the shoulders of just one man (black or white). One man alone did not get us into this mess and one man alone will not save us from it. We all must work together or falter together.

I for one believe the country did the right thing in voting for Obama, of coarse are all welcome their opinion, it's what makes this country great... it's a shame when people get ridiculed for excersing their rights... I must say i admire you taking our stand on your beliefs.

Hi Donna, I followed your link tonight and am very impressed by your approach here.
When it is all said, and the 'fat lady has sung', for good or bad, unity is the only course.
I am proud to say I voted at the embassy in Amsterdam, but like so many others
my choice is not sleeping in the white house tonight.

Now that I know where you are, I'll be keeping better track, I just registered :)
Have a blessed night my friend, continued sucess with your golden pen!
hugs, Sandi

We have a long road to walk before us all, and like so many that have already reviewed this wonderful write, I too pray that history will record that we were perhaps wrong in our feelings of our 44th President, as they stand for this moment, at least for myself anyway. I so agree with you though that somehow we have to find a way to support what plans he has laid before us in the name of change. Only time will tell the history that will be written. We are to accept what is before us now, I pray that he will learn to accept that most American Citizens would want to feel assured that the flag of our great nation is worth a moment to stand to salute its awesome history as it has flown so proudly and is a symbol to so many nations. So much fear to overcome in my thinking, but I am an American, and America will always have my support and love.

You have my friend done just as you have stated. You have done yourself proud yet once again with this awesome write from your heart and many other hearts I am sure are in total agreement.

Hugs and Love. God Bless Us All

Well expressed, without fear or favor. I can't really comment on the election as I do not profess to know the full story.
But from Ireland, I wish you joy and hope my friend. Time alone will tell.

A very well penned piece~ I voted but my man didn't win ~ but like you say it always comes

down to the lesser of two evils~ We all must unite now and hope our new President

can fulfill his position and lead our country with a strong hand~ Time will tell if he

can past the test of a leader and chief in command~let's all hope he can

I think the truest comment you had was "lesser of two evils"....I wouldnt have known what to do in reality. When the candidates stop bad mouthing each other, and tell me what their plans are going to be to HELP our country, them maybe I'll put an opinion in. When I joined the Army back in 1969, it stung me that I could be chosen to go overseas to fight a war that I didnt start(which I did) but at the time, I couldnt vote. To this day, as soon as a slate of candidates is chosen, the first thing their rivals do is comb their background, dig up anything that LOOKS like dirt, and throw shots at each other. To me, that isnt being a politician....they are all to me, like school yard kids that stare at each other and say "nya nya".......sorry, I'm sure I'll catch hellfor this one, but like you said, I DO have a right to voice it at least!
God bless you ((((((((((((((((((((((((Donna))))))))))))))))))))))))) for listening

True words, my dear friend. Three hours away and by the time it got to me it was pretty much over. I voted the way I that I saw best. It wasn't for this man that now stands in power. I hope and pray that he can over come what everyone fears will be in the heart of every American.
