America's Strength

by David Cohen 4/2005

America's strength is not the government
but the people who call it home.
America's strength is not the diplomats
but the citizens who are bonded in friendship
America's strength is not the armies
but the patriotic and equal civilians.

America's citizens are the justice makers
not the judges
America's civilians are the rulers
not the Presidents
America's people are the teachers
not the schools.

America's leaders can't amed the constitution
only the citizens can do that
America's leaders can't elect themselves
only the people can do that
America's leader can't change the state laws
only civilians there can do that.
In truth America's power is not the leaders
but the civilians who live here.
