- Dear Jeff,
-
- I am a high school teacher and I found this poem crumpled
up at the end of the school day. I was rather surprised by it. Perhaps
its not worthy of posting but I am surprised that a 16 or 17 year old would
be so aware of the changes in their world. I have not had anyone come forward
as the author so, for now, it remains anonymous.
-
- Sincerely,
-
-
- P.S. Should you post this, I ask that my name and e-mail
address be withheld.
-
-
-
- I am an American
-
- I am an American, I believe in freedom.
-
- I am an American; I live in the greatest country in the
world.
-
- I am an American, I trust my government to do what's
right.
-
- I am an American; I ask, "What can I do for my country?"
-
-
-
- I am an American, I surf the web with impunity.
-
- I am an American, I watch 36 hours of television a week.
-
- I am an American, I believe in the media to tell me the
truth.
-
- I am an American, my government doesn't lie.
-
-
-
- I am an American; I wait in line all day.
-
- I am an American; I do as the authorities tell me.
-
- I am an American, tell me what to think.
-
- I am an American, tell me what to believe, I forgot.
