Question:"We named her America"

(Version #1)

Her head supports the Rushmore
Her shoulders support its weight
Her love fills Grand Canyons
That will never erode away
The Redwood trees, her hair
The Pacific Ocean, her soul
Colorado snow is the feel of her skin
But Texas is the warmth of her glow
Her heart built Louisiana
Her hands built DC
She cries rain in Seattle
But giggles in the spring
Her temper flares Arizona
Her winters take their toll
Her feelings change the weather
But people sooth her soul
No one understands her
Few care for her pain
Some will take her picture
Staring breathlessly at her face
Can anyone keep up with her
She changes with the tide
Great Lakes with no mistakes
She guides our Northern Lights

have a fondness for the planet earth and all of it's many wonders of nature. as for the human race that wishes to make a spectacle of it while all along r@pe it of it's beauty,leaves one to wonder?

Yes I love this country.

No, I don't. But I don't hate it, either.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just living here.

Go home Judas and quit sucking up points.

Yeah, I like this country. But Ive never liked this government. Its never really governed the people....just the military-industrial complex. We are economic slaves no matter how much crap we're allowed to buy at Walmart.

If you try to buck the system...you just marginalize yourself to the point of complete disenfranchisement.

When was the last time you actually like the president 2 years after he gained office? Washington? Jefferson? who?

You can wax nostalgic all you want about the land. I love it too. but its getting pretty damn hard to protect against economic pressures.
