made manifest
(for the USA and everyone may read along)

in this country where we
pander to the rich
so that we might keep
our jobs
x
in which we patronize
the royalty of other
nations
x

because there should be
no one hungry here,
no one who cannot easily drink
safe water,
where no one who wants a job
can’t have one,
where shelter exists for
everyone,
where there is some assurance of
peace,
where everyone can breathe
x
this should be our nation,
the greatest on the Earth
we say
but then
we can boast
a model to the other lands
and take action for all needs
x
and all of us
on planet Earth,
thinking of launching for
other places
