Awaken Our Dream

The U.S.A. was built on ‘Blood and Dream,’
Great Patriotism, did Comprise that Dream,
Payment, Much Blood, ‘Purchased the Dream,’
Is Going Too Slow, we must ‘Awaken our Dream.’

Awaken Our Dream
By Arley Steinhour 011318

No Matter How we Came Here,
To this Land, that's called U.S.A.,
Free, Bonded, or Slave, in Fear,
As Free Men, ‘Patriotism Needs STAY.'

'We the People,' Need-be In 'Freedoms Control,'
'By Voting,' at Ballot-Box, 'Not, With a Knee,'
That, ‘We Develop Freedom,’ as a Shoal,
Other Nationals, may come see, 'How to be Free.'

History tells us, 'Freedom's not Free,'
Patriotic Lives, must be 'Given to Death,'
When, Leaders, believe, they can be,
'Lords Over People, 'Ignoring the Aftermath.'

God Gave us This Country, to be an ‘Example,’
That when, 'Good Triumphs, over 'Slavery,'
We the People, can have a ‘Life that is Ample,’
By ‘Loving the Neighbor,’ in a 'Land of the Free.'

With, ‘Freedom, as Sacrosanct,’ we all Participate,
In the ‘Constitutional Way,’ Written, by Forefathers,
And Guided by God/Jesus, ‘His Gift Not Dissipate,’
That, ‘We Build and Grow As Welcomed-Brothers.’

Should another, Old Way of Life, hold the heart,
They Might Need Return,’ from, ‘This Life, We Live,’
Of, ‘Sacrificial Exertion,’ needed ‘In Our National Cart,'
To develop, some ‘Semblance, of U.S.A., or Better, to Give.'

Our Way of Life, is Fragile, in need of Repair,
‘With, Hatred of Others,’ running Rampant,
The Dream we have built, ‘Yields to Despair,’
‘That Can Be Quelled,’ by Not Saying, ‘I Can’t.’
(OR, sadly, WON’T)
AMEN
