&quot;It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Pres. Ronald Reagan


She was in that school chair all the time,
And all day long.
She was tired of all this teaching,
And all the things that she got wrong.
She left there in a hurry, ran to her house,
Told her mom she was quitting,
She was going to drop out.
Her mom sat her down and said,
"Honey, please don't do this."
But her mind was made up,
And she couldn't be dealt with.
She told her mom that she was, sick of learning,
And that she wouldn't go back,
Even though she could see her mom it was hurting.

Life came hard and cruel to that little girl,
And she began to realize,
She had given up the world.
She had a poor little job,
At a convenience store.
And her trashy car had broken something
She just couldn't afford.
Her friends who had finished school had all become a success,
And she saw she had made of her life a complete mess.

She wanted to fix things,
But she couldn't pay for school.
And they didn't give any scholarships,
'Cause the government was cruel.
They had ruined the economy,
And had taken all the cash.
They had killed her elderly grandmother,
And all the old ones at last.

The President was a Communist,
And there was no hope.
The America she knew as a child,
Had all gone up in smoke.
One day she tells her children,
Of how it was like,
To be free to make decisions,
Without fear of a fight.
The veterans run and hide in fear,
Of the President now,
Because he says that they are a threat,
And they must be wiped out.

What happened to that country,
Land of the Free?
It was taken over by a man,
Who was communist as could be.

In the end there's no one old, fat, or free,
And no one has the choice to be
What they want to be.

The author's comments:
I was encouraged to write this poem because it seems to be a way to express the direction our country is headed. I wanted to write this on this web site because we, the teenagers of America are the ones who will have to live with all of this junk. We have the opportunity to change the future. Let's take it!

It is not junk. What do you think he's doing? By the way, that is my opinion and i do not listen to glen beck! I can't fix america by myself. I'm counting on people like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, ect. I'm counting on people i can trust to do what is best for the country. I, by myself cannot make a huge difference, but with the help of other good people, we, the conservatives, can help america. Free enterprise, the right to make your own money and do with it as you will, the right to make as much money as you can and become rich, is not communist. it is the american dream.

Thank you! It is teens like you who encourage me and tell me that the hope still lies in us. Thank you for standing with me in these times. I think that the conservative teenagers wil have to stand together before this is done and make a difference. Thank you for standing with me now, and I hope that you as well as many others will stay with me when times get worse. May God bless and guide our country from sin and communists.

George Bush did not cause 9/11. He helped us through it. And Obama has been in office less than a year and has already done extreme damage to our country. I'm not sure we can take 3 more years of this man.

hi. i commented on your other article-

"Who believes Pres. Obama is full of junk?"

and you recommended me to read this poem. And you are right, i do like it. i think it expresses exactly what is happening in the world. I am a christian also, and a conservative ( as you can see from my screen name). i truly appreciate that you care enough to express your views and speak your mind. some people couldn't care less about what is happening in the world. (I know a few) but you care about the issues of today and i agree(again) with everything that you say. I will not support Obama either and will keep speaking up for what is right! I'm so glad that you are too! God bless us all!

I am not saying that he is communist BECAUSE he is a member of the democrat party. I have family and friends who are democrats, but he is farther than that. Obama has communistic tedencies that if you look closely at times you can see. This man is dangerous. I do not and will not support him.
