You Should Be Proud Of America Poem by David Welch

I hear professors prattling,
I hear the reporters berate,
I see tech fascists side with China,
claim all who oppose them are ‘hate.'
I see young people lost and mad,
attacking people in the streets,
minds poisoned by the folks above,
Told to go find ‘nazis' to beat.
I see a major party that
now embraces socialism,
claiming our past is all evil,
that all must see through their prism.
But given all socialism killed
they deserve only our anger,
you should be proud of America,
no nation has done it better.

No nation was built on ideas
instead of brute conquest or tribe,
we took the best mankind thought up,
then wrote it into law with pride.
Though it took trial and error
to see freedom was applied right,
we shed our blood to push it on,
we started and finished this fight.
The standard set for other states,
the impulse for their own reforms,
were it not for our founders words
freedom wouldn't have become a norm.
Most still have not reached out level,
we remain freedom's trend-setter,
you should be proud of America,
no nation has done it better.

How many nations were willing
to let their citizens compete?
To set free the productive urge,
and let loose true creative feats?
How many technologies
that have improved the human state
came from free people striving to
make money and do something great?
We let people chose for themselves
and the results speak loud and clear,
we flew a plane, launched a roadster,
and made bounteous food appear.
How many genres did we make;
books, film, and music, we're go-getters,
You should be proud of America,
No nation has done it better.

How many nations shed their blood
for land they don't claim as their own?
We crushed the Germans and Japan,
then turned and gave them back their homes.
We could've just gone full Roman,
wiped them all out, moved ourselves in,
and we could've filled the Middle East
with conquering Americans.
Instead we did the job and left,
would the Chinese have done the same?
they're still infesting poor Tibet,
Russia annexed part of Ukraine.
The Indians we once fought with,
are now countrymen and voters,
you should be proud of America,
no nation has done it better.

The growing freedom, the success,
the inventions that changed mankind…
these things never get mentioned when
you listen to leftists malign.
They lie about your history,
elevate every single mistake,
and stay silent on all of the things
that make our people truly great.
They like it when you in the dark,
they like it when truth isn't told,
because that means you reason less,
and are far easier to control.
Reject their constant hate-filled dirge,
don't let them make you embittered,
you're a child of America,
you were born to be something better.
