I weep for you, my Country,

For you are bleeding internally.

Divisiveness has invaded

Your very bones and vital organs.

Apathy has seized your heart,

And unresolved anger has caused you

To forget there is safety in numbers. 

Fear and uncertainty has blinded you,

To the strength that lies within you.

Remember your beginnings.                                 

You were not faint-hearted,

But full of steely resolve,

To see This Nation rise up

To meet its ongoing challenges

In its pursuit of Happiness,

Equality, and Freedom for All.

Strive to work together to 

Bind up the wounds of

This once proud Nation.

Honor the differences that

Enable us to pull together

For the common good.

Put aside hatred and violence,

And believe once again in

The Power of the Human Spirit

To seek what is right and good.
