Restoration, not reformation.
Our once prosperous nation, gone.
My faded American Dream.

Pointed fingers retreat,
while new leaders advance.
The bloodshed of thousands, for this?

Thousands of crying mothers,
tears pour on Her flag.
Waiting for Justification for our freedom.

The author's comments:
My name is Cress, I'm an actor. In my sophmore year of high school, I took poetry. In Poetry class, we were required to submit our writing to TeenInk.com. This has inspired me to keep writing and to keep posting.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
