&quot;As long as I live I will have control over my being&quot;<br /> By: Artemisia Gentileschi

A country that is united
will stay united
forever and ever.
The country which guarantees us
life, liberty, and property
without due process of law.
A country that has civil rights
that doesn't discriminate.
The country that gives us
freedom of speech,
freedom of press,
freedom of religion,
freedom of assembly,
freedom to petition
THE GOVERNMENT.
A country that grants us
all those things
so we can live
an acceptable life.
Why do I till feel...
that we are slowly breaking apart.

© Haley M., Ellinwood, KS

I feel as if though the U.S.A has been becoming even less united recently.
