America's Built on Stolen Land

July 3, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, in honor of American Independence Day (July 4th), is America.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem for American Independence Day (July 4th) about America’s debt of sin:

America’s built on stolen land
Made profitable by stolen labor.
Equity with interest should,
Reinvested properly,
Irrigate urban deserts,
Create rural gardens,
Amortize a debt of sin.
