Comment from MissMerri
It seems I missed this in its original release. I am so glad I found it today, and how appropriate it seems for the events of the current times. There are so many outstanding lines in this poem, but one of the most powerful and heart-stopping is the last line of the verse ...
imprison this Land of the free guilty
for feeding your hungry dreams nutrient rich reality
make the blessing an orphaned porridge too weak to eat
Wow Michael... what a great image! The orphaned porridge too weak to eat says so much. But you have a knack for coming up with the most unexpected and meaningful phrases and metaphors. Another one I especially loved was the line about every birthright among the forest of unwritten leafs sees the truth through the treason. Thank you so much for reposting this amazingly appropriate poem. I wish we could see more of your creative skills here on FanStory.

Smile...hey you.
Yeah I ran across it somehow and thought it appropriate also. It is troubling to see so many turn a blind eye to the truth and embrace the lie. I'm sorry you see this...
Somebody told me God loves this Country and He wont see it in ruins...or something similar...smile. love you Michael

I hope Christ's Whiteness is meant in terms of goodness, not colour old friend because I know your heart, and I know your words.
Patriotism is not racist, and fool are those who think patriotism belongs to one colour or one group when groups themselves may be from different groups foreign to the soil in which claimed, long ago, so history has a part, as does education, and not to be confused with blind stupidity through a lack of it
I know my brothers heart and words as I have loved for a long time since, on this site, and you never fail to deliver.
My brother will be my brother always. That is true patriotism.
Always my brother...love your writing and its various codes...because I took the time to understand what a fine writer you are.
Keep the faith.
My best wishes.

Christ's witness is the common in all men...who went about doing good. America was founded on and under His principles. A place, a paradise where skin doesnt separate brotherhood and men live free to be much more than colored skin. But a part of the heart of Him. Yes my Brother...you know me. Thank you for looking closer. Love Michael

Always my brother...unbreakable and gifted
Comment from Eternal Muse
A passionate, patriotic and avant-garde poem with a terrific presentation and a choice of an artwork.
You use some powerful and moving lines. Excellent imagery and visuals.
I haven't read your writing for a long time; though I had taken a 3 year sabbatical from the site and only came back a few months ago.
Thanks for sharing, was good reading you again.

Comment from royowen
I think America had taken a real beating these last few years, and being forced to re evaluate yourselves, perhaps one's view of "freedom" is not really freedom at all, Jesus painted a picture of real freedom as being servitude, not being able to do what one's soul "lusteth" after, and our home wasn't on earth anyway,. Good to see you back Michael, how are you Going? Well done, blessings Roy, (somehow your writing is clearer now)

Hm...well Roy, I dont think I agree with you then. I think the last few years have been redemption from eight years of bruising everything about US including denying openly before the world Our Christian heritage
As far as ones view of Freedom that is the cancer of Our problem...in Truth it is defined in a Constitution and Bill of Rights. and no one individual is above the law or Our founding Principles. Has not America served mankind...?
-
The Bible doesn?t talk about a Bill of rights only privileges, a right to serve, I wasn?t having a shot at the US, as you suppose, I think you read what you wanted to
-
I read what you wrote Roy.
But am not shy or afraid to defend my position even if shot at...you stated your thoughts and I mine. I'm not upset or angry with you for feeling differently. I'm disappointed in and furious with them of my own who have taken Our Holy Grail to the strip clubs and soiled Her. Love Michael

We seem to be talking about two different things. Michael

Comment from wishawave
The free land can only be defined by God. I can feel the love and passion o of the author to his country. In the time of crises and turmoil, also is cultivated the opportunity and progress. I enjoy reading this poem and listening to the song "Born in the USA". By the way, I wonder how to input the video. The song and the poem matches well.

Hm...havent done it in a while but everybody's got a bike right...ah go to utube find your video...copy it and then paste it in the author notes...if it's not working in the structure of the poem.
This Land was defined by God...He is written all over it. Our glory is His first, for without Him We would never have been US.
Appreciate your time. Love Michael
Comment from poetwatch
You're a hard man to read, RECONCILED. Yet, faith is in every soul that wants to be free. I am born and raised in the USA. In Texas I saw the changing times. There is no US, it is, We the People. That is how we grow, a nation standing shoulder to shoulder as one race... The Human Race. A poet speaks for the heart not behind a mask no matter what the feelings are, speak true. Thank you for sharing.

Aha...sigh
Well I'm no Obi-wan Kenobi but am certain True North has always been kept precious protected by real steel and grit not light sabres and bullshit.
I was raised on and in God blessed America and do not accept the overzealous crime sprees of some of We as part of US but treason to Our way of life. Masks are for bandits not warrior Poets.
