America Revisited Comments

This is what Walt Whitman would be writing in American if he were alive today. This is exceptional poetry of true insight into needs of a nation awaiting true inspired leadership again. Luckily Whitman is not alive to witness these problems. Somewhere in America a group of real patriotic Americans need to forget partisan politics and actually unite to formulate solutions for the nation they claim to serve. To call the truth unpatriotic reminds of a scripture 'Do not be calling evil good.' Homeland security appears to have stripped the American public of many rights and the ability to fight back. Once Americans were eager to fight for their freedom and rights. The Arab Spring has shown the world that dictatorships and governments which neglect the needs of their people cannot survive. To confront policies which are oppressive is not unpatriotic. to protest in peace at the risk of freedom and life among the greatest calling and human sacrifice possible. Thank you Eric for addressing issues of need in America, may others embrace the meaning and responsibility behind your verse, and rise to the challenge of achieving solutions.
