In America Poem by Randy McClave

This is America
It was founded by immigrants all,
People from different lands and countries
All with many different religions and beliefs without a wall.
Here we drink, tea, water, beer, vodka, soda, sake and wine
We speak Spanish, English, Hindi, Mandarin and others,
We are vegetarians and we also eat meat
Some own Bibles, but many more own guns as their druthers.
Here we have the educated and the poorly educated
Here we have the brave and we also have the weak,
We also have the dreamers, while many are schemers
Here we have the scared and some who are just cowards that squeak.
Here we have the wealthy and we also have the entitled
We have the poor and also the needy,
And here we have the hard workers and also the lazy
And many complain as they stand beside the wealthy and the greedy.
Here we have the soldiers and we have the wannabes
We have fighters and we have the protesters,
And we have the found and also the lost and the confused
While many lie and spread gossip and false rumors and are traitors.
Here we have atheists and Christians, Muslims and Hindus
Here we are democrats and we are also republicans,
We are Black, White, Yellow and Red
We are all in the same melting pot, we are Americans.
