"I Am An American"

Here's a pro-American poem I wrote last year and first published on RA Folk Nation's previous incarnation, Planet RA!, on December 8, 2006. I hope you enjoy it!

"I Am An American"

by Poorgrrl (aka Seane-Anna)

I Am An American!
Without apology.

I Am An American!
Brave and strong and free.

I Am An American!
I come from every place.

I Am An American!
My nation is my race.

I Am An American!
I'll die for liberty.

I Am An American!
I've set countless men free.

I Am An American!
My flag I will unfurl.

I Am An American!
I stand astride the world.

I Am An American!
I do not cut and run.

I Am An American!
My country's will be done.
