This Land Is Your Land Comments

This a courageous poem and imparts its courage to the reader because of its purity in advocating both freedom and belonging. You express universal HOPE which means we are responsible to make it so. Only DESPAIRING PEOPLE HAVE AN EXCUSE TO GIVE UP: THEY LACK THE COURAGE OF HOPE. I don't possess your fervor, or am not possessed by it; your poem shows this in its exuberant language and utter confidence. You seem to have the potential of a leader, a point man who identifies a worthy goal and then goes about rallying people. The woman you address stands for one of those persuaded to join your goal. And so it goes.

Down to the sea! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
