America

I now have an uncle named Sam
Who defines everything that I am
But without being checked
Lets my rights become wrecked
Let our our government be not a sham

This is what a limerick is supposed to be: short and concise. And I liked how your patriotism brings out the emotion in the poem. Nicely done.
