One Nation Under God ~ an acrostic

Thank you! I'd salute you, but since I'm not former military, that's considered disrespectful (or at least that's what I've been told) Thanks for the kind comments. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

First, welcome to the site! Second, thanks for taking the time to visit and commenting. :~) ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

Glad to see you around the site again. I've missed you. The best is subjective, but we're definitely up there. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

This actually took a pretty long time, and honestly is only my second attempt. First one was bungled up, as I didn't follow the rules. Thanks for the visit! ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

I think the bald eagle has been removed from the endangered species list. We have one here in Virginia at a wildlife sanctuary - beautiful creature. Thank you for commenting. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

There are other countries around the world who wage war against others. North and south Korea sound familiar? Struggles over the Gaza Strip sound familiar? Somolia sound familiar? Why is it whenever the slightest problem arises, everyone always looks to us for help? Even when we try to mind our own business, we hear "where was the United States?" As for the "our God is evil" that's just a point blank ignorant and stupid comment. We're primarily a Christian nation, though we incorporate all faiths (or no faiths!) fairly. You worship Satan. Satan is indeed quite evil. Our Gods, be it Yahweh, or Allah, or Buddha, or the Christian God, whoever, USUALLY helps bring out the good in other people. It gives us something to believe in, and our gods USUALLY stand for something good. Fuck Satan. In the end, he loses. He's evil, he's corrupt, and his followers are the same. I'm getting a little tired of your self-serving crap, Jess. I'm almost ashamed to share a name with you. I have little cousins-in-law (if there is such a thing) who are less than 2 years old and have better manners than you. You know, the shoe should be on the other foot - the guy in his 50's should be telling the kid in her late 20's (me) to grow up. It shouldn't be the other way around.... ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

This is the first time I actually got an acrostic right. I was very nicely corrected by mother that my first attempt wasn't correct. *sigh* I'm glad everyone enjoyed it, though. Thanks again. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes, and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes.

Nothing of the sort, Pinksheep. Yes, there are sometimes I am fed up with the Federal Gov't and other ripples along the way - but truthfully, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here. I didn't mean for this to turn into almost a direct rebuttal or comments and such posted on other poems, but it seems it went in that direction. Thank you for your comments. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"When there's no good answers, and no new questions.
