  MY COUNTRY

  
  I see my Country
  Clearly
  
  When I know
  What it is doing
  
  I see the wrong
  
  For then
  I can guide it right
  
  I am not the Path
  
  But try to find
  its Course
  
  Then I'll know
  
  Who's Leading me
  To Fight
  
  For what I must answer
  
  Who is right?
  
  What values does
  My Country bring?
  
  That find a place
  In me
  
  God and right
  I'll take their side
  My Country
  Must be on its side
  
  For I follow not
  My Country goal
  
  Rights of People
  To be told
  
  Of the Path
  My Country
  Takes me through
  
  For then I'll know
  Just where to go
  
  Then I'll know
  Just what to do
  
  I Hope The Path
  Is God and True.
  
  A Poeatreeman
  
  If my Country has Heart
  I'll know it's mine.

  Poet’s Views
  
  The Flag may be
  Red, White, &Blue
  Yet
  The People who colored it
  is a Nation
  Covered in Views.
