In honor of our Founding Fathers
A chapter in the book CSP: A Collection of Poems
The Great Experiment
by Sixteezkid
See Author's Notes below
What love I have for this great land. America, our freedom planned By those with vision; desirous For something new, then took a stand Their actions were rebellious And without doubt, most treasonous With sacrifice, they made the call; A Declaration penned for us A quill to parchment signed by all Unsure if it would stand or fall Yet, held the dream that we might see A nation strong, a nation tall With much debate, what came to be? A Constitution to decree That all are equal, all are free That all are equal, all are free |

Our Founding Fathers called their dream, "The Great Experiment",
as it was an untried form of government.
I admire them greatly for their vision and courage - with sacrifices made that most don't take the time to learn about. And their incredible genius to write the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
And because this document does decree that all are equal and free, many still bitch that things aren't "perfect" here. Show me a perfect nation (where human beings run the show) - or even show me one that comes close to enjoying our freedoms, then I will open my ears to the America-bashers. And let the debate begin with our "Bill of Rights".

In homage to Robert Frost's, "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" (which I love), I penned this with the same rhyme scheme and final two lines being identical.
