A New America
By Lisa Noe

I live in a new America
Where freedom rings
And bullets bring
An end to life

I live in a new America
Where there are those who care
And those who dare to live on edge
Where buildings fall and people call


I live in a new America
Where bickering prevails
Where politics and heretics
Are one and the same


I live in a new America
Where love still exists
And there are those who help
Although they must watch their step


I live in a new America
Where there are good folks and bad
Across the entire land
I love this America


The Land of the Free
The Home that I love!!
America, America, for all of your ills,
You are The great.




This is a poem I wrote after a mass school shooting and
also following the Death of the Great Pastor Billy Graham
It shows the contrasts of the different types of people who
live within the USA.
