    "Now it's all vacated; and reinstated like previously stated."

    ^^ HA! I just loved that line!

    WOW WOW WOW....all I can say is WELL DONE! I want to know so much about this poem. Was it hard to keep writing words that rhymed and still make it make sense. What inspired this write? How long did it take to write it? This is just so incredible emotional its got MY emotions all tangled up. When you can do that to a reader, you know you have a gift.

    I feel like we've become the United States of Embarrassment, and it's so sad to have to say that. i love this country greatly, but the way we handle things, how we raise our children, it's just all going to hell.

    Excellent write! Im in love with this piece!

    This is great and would really sound good sung buy a folk singer, yet the poem could stand on its own like Dylan lyrics

    Wow that was a great job i love what all it feels like you put into it and the thought behind it all and simply the message your ending line about whether we've become the united states of embarassment was great i think a few people who claim to be in control of this country should read something like this and let them see how we feel about their decisions but yeah it was great and the way you kept the rhyme all the way through yeah it was amazing

    This was my favorite line, "They built a white house just to hide those stars,
    Wear suits to cover scars, take away whats ours,..." good poem :) keep it up!

    I loved how well this flowed! And it's so true. A lot or people will read this and find something that applies to them. I think that's why it's such a good poem, it's really diverse and says what people need to hear. I love love love the diction here also. Words are amaizng and you really showed that here. You placed them perfetly making this a masterpiece of words and emotions. I love how you ended it as well. It really made me think and that's always a plus. Wonderful job here! Nik
