This U.S. Poet Poem by Ima Ryma

United States poet I be.
I've always felt lucky by grace
That fates of fortune did put me
Into this nation, time and place.
As a poet, I believe that
It is my duty to speak out
About my homeland habitat
When powers that be cause me doubt.
We the People, I now believe
Are fed more fiction and less fact.
Powers that be seek to deceive.
It's up to us poets to act.

I am concerned, I must confess,
For the future of the U.S.
