My Beloved America,
What Are You?
Where Is Our
Cherished Democracy?
Why have you allowed Deceitful Progress
to come and steal our Children's Future?
America, you have sent away our jobs,
robbed us of our life savings or homes
and taken away our Privacy,
our Right to Assemble,
our Free Speech
and Access to Airwaves.
America, you and Deceitful Progress
have used the Nation's Courts
to create monopolies for Robber Barons
to steal and control our Nation.
America, you have turned neighbor
against neighbor and used technology
to bicker and create new wars
and prisons for profit
when you should be
Nurturing the Brilliance,
the Creativity and the
Hope of Our Children.
Stop Lying America.
Almost 50 percent of this Nation
is living in Poverty.
My Beloved America...
There will be No Real Progress
without Equity, Education,
Integrity, Good Jobs and Respect
for All the People of Our Nation!

My Beloved America
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
