Prayer

by Jane E Pearce

She seems to be  more feverish

as the leaves float down this fall.

Do you see the  eyes glazed

in disbelief  as the hours  fly

away this fall?  We feed her

with pumpkin pie and hope

along with stories of waving amber  grain.

.

She  must not leave us  who love her

and would die to save her from

strange faces with auras of  alien ideas.

.

God, give us strength  to keep her wise,

to keep her  fortresses impregnable

to those who decieve with  grand lies-

God save America.

Amen! Your prayer underscores the distance from the founding principles this nation has gone. May God indeed save America.

I suspect the American Indians prayed for the same thing and look what we did to them. They might have been willing to share but wanted it all for ourselves.
