A Semiquincentennial Poem
Glorious.
A nation of stars.
Not just actors, athletes, or professional rock stars.
But 50 groups of Americans Diffused from those first 13 bars.
Many greats have led for us, party notwithstanding.
John, James, Abe, Harry, others.
From Pennsylvania avenue commanding.
But Greatest are those who bled for us, defending Liberty on domestic and foreign shore.
Today we celebrate 250 years American greatness, And here's to 250 more.
