I Am An American.
I owe you no apologies nor will I accept those apologies made for me by others.
If you dislike me — you dislike me not for what I am but for what you are not. By my own sweat, I have created a lifestyle which I desire for all men.
To the world I have shared my wealth and given my blood, not because of obligation — but by my own free will.
I have fed the hungry of the world. Many bit my hand; I used the other hand.
I defeated my enemies in battle, then pulled them up from the ashes of defeat. Once strong, they again attacked; I turned the other cheek.
Though I am strong, I have never used my strength to rule others. But do not misjudge me, I will not allow the fear of my own strength to become my weakness.
If you wish to rise, I will give you a helping hand.
But by the grace of God, and I’ll first be damned, If I’ll let you drag me down so that we may be equal.
D. Ault
Well said Mr Ault…Unfortunately our current president wants to be equal with everyone else, but I also feel he does not believe in the first line.
