INDEPENDENCE
By Curtis Johnson
I have observed that America is a Democratic Republic with high values on the INDIVIDUAL
We are 50 States, some of whose economies rival other countries; yet we are one NATION.
Yes, we have fought each other in a bloody war; yet we are one and shall not be DIVIDED.
As a nation, we set our goals and aim for the heights, flying and soaring like the EAGLE.
We are not about “He, the President or the Potentate”, but all about “We The PEOPLE.
Our nation is not perfect, but at its core, “We Believe That All Men Are Created EQUAL'.
We are blessed and prosperous; and as a people, we pause to give thanks every NOVEMBER.
So often, similarities make great people; but the strength of America is its DIFFERENCES.
Some of our rights are granted through government; there are others that are God ENDOWED.
We have One President,100 Senators,435 Representatives, and Supreme Court Justices are NINE.
Our country is a Republic and not a Theocracy; but most of our founding fathers believed in a CREATOR.
It has been said that America is great because we are good; may our goodness long ENDURE.

It has been said that America is great because we are good; may our goodness long ENDURE. of course. If the citizens of a country are good then the country becomes good. Very nicely envisioned and presented. Thank you for sharing such intensive poem.
