Poetry: Second best

by Roy Blokker

Created on: May 21, 2010

Avert your eyes, O Liberty!

I’m terrified of what you’ll see:

A broken down economy,

A country second best.


Our bubble burst, our wars go on,

Our confidence is all but gone -

We’re gamblers who have never won,

And no one sees our quest.


Turn away, O Goddess! Your tears

Break down after so many years.

America is lost to fears.

We have bridged the crest.
