America’s Soul Through the means of a company trying to appeal to your emotions to make a sale as I watched this Pass before me I wasn’t taking in the foreground but what it depicted in the background a realness a Testimony of truth was flowing at flood stage images bathed in purist knowing about place and the stalwart Ideals that make up a fabric so rich and full family’s not just empty see through nothing really there pay No mind but you and I our successes our failures caught in the back drop of mountains and deserts and In a song an anthem a coursing river but one of a unique part of the world’s humanity identified by red White and blue builder’s fighter’s lovers of freedom that didn’t come by dreamers alone yes they Dreamed but then they infused blood and sinew muscle onto this lifeless skeleton their efforts are Attested to by the sacred graves the head stones don’t tell the story of hardship sacrifice on battlefields Domestic and hostile bone weary against all odds at times feeling all alone and there were those times This was true but it was always known you were part of a great brotherhood and sisterhood though far Apart in the physical sense never the less a great spiritual dynamism bonded you together at the Farthest and narrowest stretching point steel was without equal in its intent and its effort the lowliest to The mightiest carried the same strain of a heroic undertaking and inwardly looked the same and truly Were the same there wasn’t class or rank just Americans pushing this grand experiment to its most Glory filled conclusion and then at lands end the heart would be engaged to its fullest with hands that Reached around the globe to any that were threatened or abused fear not our brothers we will lend To you are strength and all of our resources fulfilling a moral duty to those who are less fortunate we Have fought and achieved and the natural result will be a mobilized caring that endures through all of Our history making a stronger unified self governing people the envy of the world not through cheap Pride but the foundational excellence will give the challenge don’t settle for less don’t be reduced to Settling for anything but the best monuments are built by many tyrants but let the people build them From the costliest material and they will endure all generations it will push back ignorance send Down lighting striking fear in those with ill will and promote the human spirit they will peer down from Lofty heights undisturbed by petty squabbles those that contend for illustrious beacons forged and Sprayed out from hammer an anvil in the dark nightly skies of heaven performing and making a sculptured treasure That speaks truth and creates the sensation of a glory that rests on a people like no other that have Touched the fringes of utopia with just enough realism to keep you grounded and not allow you to Totter and fall back under false hood that causes the cycle to start all over again of being a slave instead Of being free
