[bodytext] => Seeing America By: Matthew Christian what do you see when you look at America do you see the flowers blooming in the spring or do you see them wither and die do you see a kid being born or one that died before its time do you see your favorite driver about to win the race or a drive by shooting that just took place do you see Martin Luther King saying I Have A Dream or a young boy killed for his race at only the age of sixteen do you see a mother carrying a baby on her back or a mother that is addicted to crack do you see a house that's under construction or a house that’s been burned to nothing do you see the red white and blue or a soldier trapped in a foreign prison begging for food do you see a soldier that fights for freedom or the atomic bomb that we drop on Hiroshima do you see someone dying of old age or a plane crashing into the world trades do you see a country that pays or one the is fading into because of sinful ways do you see a county that still one nation under God or a country whose economic crisis has caused its spiral downfall do you see a country under God's praise or a country that is suffering from AIDS do you see a fireman that saved the baby last Tuesday or a policeman shot on duty do you see a country that stands by in God we trust or a bible that is collecting dust do you see the blue angel jet fly over head or a twenty one gun salute because a solder is dead do you cry for all the holocaust victims lost or hear Nazis yelling for Hitler’s cause do you see a country where a soldier can put on a uniform and stand tall or a nation who disrespects its heroes that who fall do you see yourself on a beach trying to relax or Pear Harbor under attack do you see Rosa Parks refuse to move or the challenger when it exploded on the news do you see the miracle of Apollo 13 astronauts come home or United 93 when the true meaning of a hero was shown do you see a wrestler about to submit or a man sentenced to death for a crime that he did not commit do you see the stars light up the night or a kid with cancer trying to fight do you see Lincoln giving the Gettysburg address or a platoon of soldiers under distress do you see Muhammad Ali saying I am the greatest or Kennedy when he was assonated do you let your patriotism show or remember the Alamo do you see the rough Alaskan terrain or a county ready for change do you see a country where the Ten Commandments are obeyed or is it all like a act that they put on stage do you see a flag that flies high or an eagle that soars into the sky what do you see when you look at America the choice is up to you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 116 [topic] => 19 [informant] => sandman [notes] => Corrected spelling as requested ~ Moderator_18 Jan 11, 2011 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
