'God' Bless America? Poem by Tom Higgins

'God' Bless America?

Rating: 4.5


A nation of six percent of global population,
Has been led to believe the sole purpose of creation,
Was to bring them alone to the fore,
To give them the right to so much more,
Than their fair share of the Earth's resources
And in doing this they have used mighty forces,
To maintain for them, absolute power,
But, now it seems cometh the hour,
That other nations will soon replace,
Them as dominant over the human race.
So as this happens, and change ensues,
What will be their response to the news,
That 'god' is no longer on their side?
And no longer does his holy spirit abide,
In the seats of power on Capitol Hill,
No, he's now hovering over Asia, where he will,
Share his guidance from above,
With the Indians, and Chinese that he's come to love!
