The political elites seek to divide,
they’ve got their own agendas and plans
but I write this poem to my fellow citizen,
the common every day woman & man
To say, let’s come together,
for the sake of one another
all across our great land
We’re better off if United we stand
By: J.N.R Dutton
I’m thinking about
a coffin draped in an American flag
A fallen soldier & his widow in black
His children grieving over a father
they can’t bring back
Oh it breaks my heart, makes me so mad
That people who don’t have the first clue
about sacrifice like that
treat our heroes w/contempt
& our banner like a rag
By:J.N.R Dutton
Dear America, patriotism doesn’t mean
Following parties or politicians blindly,
or that every citizen must always agree
Patriotism is Love of country,
wanting what’s best for it
& all the citizenry
By:J.N.R Dutton
When he turned 18,
In some ways he was still a boy,
but he was also a newly minted man
Answering Uncle Sam’s command,
He was shipped off to a foreign land
His uniform & boots were soon covered
in blood,sweat & sand
He felt it was a noble calling to serve his country
so he took that stand…
War changed him in a way some people will never
understand, but he’s glad his brother soldiers can
They were truly a band of heroes
By: J.N.R Dutton
There is a gift paid for in blood,
we call it liberty,
and it grinds my nerves to see
anybody treat it lightly
“America the Beautiful”
is not just a song we sing,
to me it’s a reminder
of those who’ve given
everything
By: J.N.R Dutton
We don’t always do what we should
but most people I know
have tried to do the best they could
I’ve never claimed my country
has achieved Sainthood
There is some bad,
but there’s a great deal of good
By: J.N.R Dutton
