If you were to write a poetic tribute, how would you personify the spirit of the united state today?

Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:

My nation is for adoration  

So state its valleys  

Where old waterways stream  

The round trip of life  

Under the pleased eye of winged creatures  

Embellishing the sky.  

O wonderful for roomy skies,  

For golden floods of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Over the fruited plain!  

Love America Love America once more.  

Love the fantasy it used to be.  

Love the pioneer on the plain  

Looking for a home where the Mind smiles

Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings  

Once as a fly it played in the stars  

Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!

today we'd use social media to quickly spread a controversial idea, but in the eighteenth century, the printed pamphlet was highly effective. and thomas paine took full advantage of it. on january 9, 1776, when paine published his pamphlet, "common sense," he wanted to push the american people toward independence from britain. it ultimately ignite the american revolution. thomas paine argued that the monarchy was evil and should be rejected as a form of government. to underscore his point, he cited the bible to argue his case -- in judges 8: 22-23: "the israelites said to gideon, 'rule over us, you and your son and your ' gideon told them, 'i will not rule over you. the lord will rule over you'" (nrsv).
