We need to get back to basics so I wrote a poem of how I felt;PROUD TO BE AN AMERICANI’m not a European I don’t want to be like themI’m proud to be American and be treated like I amRight now we have the freedoms that many can’t ignoreTo prove this watch how many cross our boarders to exploreWe have the rights and powers to change what we don’t likeYou can see it on some papers that our forefathers chose to writeThey did this after coming from a place they had no voiceAnd wrote down these amendments to offer us a choiceAnd now our politicians want to follow Europe’s leadBy voting on some bills which they have yet to readThey feel that we can learn from European waysOf governing their people where they take away their sayI grew up believing in our inalienable rightsOf choosing to work hard to get what’s in my sightsTo make decisions how I live and suffer for mistakesAnd relish in successes that only I have choose to makeBe cautious of the words they use to get you to agreeThat what they want to do is help for those in needWhat they really mean is that all should be the sameAnd say they’ll be the ones to take away our painsIf you choose to let them pay for all you need in lifeThere will come a time you’ll see when you will pay the priceThey will take away your right to arm and silence your free speechAnd after that your goals and dreams will soon be out of reachIf the men that wrote those papers more than 200 years agoCould see what they are currently trying to proposeThey’d be rolling in their graves with anger and disgustThat all that they have fought for was quickly turned to dustAnd if you think they know best our friends from overseasThen you should feel free to move there and you’ll seeJust leave my country how you found it free and without strifeAnd if you think we’ll let you change it you better think about that twice
