We are the United States of America

We are one within the United States.

We fought long ago to be free

And live together peacefully without a king.

We pledged our faith and trust in Democracy.

We fought a civil war more than two hundred years ago

To guarantee everyone’s right to be free.

Our struggles since our founding were many

But we persevered and believed in our Constitution

And continued to fight for freedom and justice.

We are the people of the United States

And everyone within these boarders

Are the ones with immense power.

We love without fear of hate

This is our United States.

We are one with God who made us see long ago

That all humanity must live in peace

And share our creed without hatred and greed.

“We the people” are the United States of America.

Hello: I am a writer who directs your attention to life in the 'now'. My most recent masterpiece is Losing the Boomer Blues. This whimsical story is about 3 old friends traveling back in time to lose their boomer blues. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and fell in love with writing at a very early age. I have written many short stories and poems down through the years. I've won awards but more than that I have won the hearts of my readers. I became a member of the Oakland Art Association in the late '90s and devoted many years to creating collage art but never stopped writing. I decided to start writing Losing the Boomer Blues in 2016 and finished writing it in August of 2018. It was with great pride that I self-published it in October of 2018. This charming story appeals not only to my baby boomer counterparts but to those of all ages who find the Summer of Love a quest for peace, freedom, and equality. The struggle for unity will never die. We are the United States. Divided is an impossibility.
