To Be
American Te be American is to be free To live my own life In my own manner Without interference from you. To be American is to be willing To stand up for my rights To protect them from violation By you. To be American is to have the courage To pursue my own dreams And my own desires No matter what you wish from me. To be American is to work Towards my own goals To my own end Without sanction from you. To be American is to be an individual With my own life, right, dreams and goals To be completely independent From you. top – discuss – poetry
