    STAND UP AMERICA
    Stand Up America - President's Day Tribute-
    Author: Marilyn A F Longfellow
    ~*~


    Disasters! Disasters! One by one.
    We watch and pray as each they come.
    Asking why we stop and sigh.
    No answer 'till the by and by.

    Over stretched and over taxed.
    Our country's back will never crack!
    Wars, Disasters, Man made,Natural.
    Rumors, Lies, Reality, Factual.

    ~WASHINGTON~BUSH~LINCOLN~KENNEDY~
    When times were tough they knew the remedy.
    As leaders they stood in all their might.
    Shining like stars in the darkest of night.

    Warnings come from far and near.
    Prepare to fight! Said Paul Revere.
    But no matter, come what may.
    America, GOD put here to stay.

    Though down we are!
    We'll last the longest.
    "IN GOD WE TRUST."
    We are the strongest.

    I think this is a very good poem that expresses the poets views clearly and with passion. Unfortunately, I am of the opinion that neither Bush one or Bush two are of the stature to be included in the company of Washington, Lincoln and Kennedy. Just my opinion and I respect yours as well.
