standing in the classroom
standing by their beds
before the children, our
children
trying to find words sufficient
the hope of our nation
the dream of America
in decline, in our striving
our climbing, our
willingness
to step on our fellow man
our nation in decline
no longer the best, the
greatest,
lagging behind the others
in so many measures, the
reality,
striving after greed instead
not sharing a common burden
nothing to unite us,
joining,
striving for our own
pleasure
ignoring our neighbors
I cry for the children, our
children
for what might have been
a nation truly free, open
lifting our neighbor instead
than the reality we deny
so much a lie, exceptional,
when we are in the pack
not leading from the front
but exhorting from the back
