    America So Beautiful

    Things can differentiate at the flicker of a switch.
    Off and on like relationships,
    those that call me a bitch.
    Though I am the farthest thing,
    from a miserable soul.
    It does disturb me how the world,
    has become so very cold.
    People putting others in freezers,
    doing things to kids? Unreal.
    I may not be able to change the world,
    but I can write down how I feel.
    At times, my head spins and it twirls,
    thinking of what I can do.
    Like everyone else, I sit and think,
    wishing my thoughts were true.
    When are we going to stand as a people,
    ‘To Lift Every Voice and Sing’.
    What happened to the pledge of allegiance,
    to pass a neighbor and grin?
    Hoping my sons can enjoy a world,
    where they can be what they want to be.
    I have to prove to them the hurdles,
    are what makes us stronger beings.
    Leading by example, I hope to make
    someone’s dream come true.
    By providing an outlet to fill your heart,
    with some hope from me to you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
