O America!!

by Mustardhart   Oct 31, 2004


*I have been following the debates and issues globally and in America particularly, and it kind of triggered alot of negative signals. Well, this is a product of my opinion based on my understanding of the campaigns and all. Didn't know where to place it. I welcome your comments, rating and your read*

O America!
The country of the free
The world's dream

O America!
The hope of many
Your heights un-equalled

O America!
How you are falling
Not from military invasion

O America!
How you are confused
Not from terrorist attack

O America!
Is your know, destroying you?
And your carefree life eating you?

O America!
Clearly we'll know your worth
Now that the polls are here

Was told of a giant oak
Couldn’t fall to age long storms
Alas, one morn, was fallen sore

Was fallen sore by minute weevils
Those unheeded weevils
Social issues of “no consequence”

Deep into its roots eaten
No longer a giant, fallen
O America, your roots do search.

Not for a Bin Laden far away
In thy midst a root is rot
To stay alive you must win
This battle betwixt right and wrong

    Thanks Hullo, so sweet of you commenting and showing interest. My fault should have explained my intention with the word "know" I meant know as in "knowledge" hope this clarifies your doubts. Thanks all the same.
