I Am My Own Country
I am my own
country, unique and of itself,
No flag may
bury me beneath its weight.
I steal not
from other’s glory, claim them as my own,
Nor absolve
them of their sins just the same.
I blame
no-one for my failings, legion as they are,
Nor deny the
debts to many owed.
I am my own
country, government of myself,
Its history
begins with my conception.
I keep our
constitution expanding ever outwards.
Not stagnant
in a putrid past
Our anthem
changes daily, from jazz to funk to rock,
Tea and sage
advice we can provide.
I am my own
country. Found one for thyself.
And we shall
find a new United Nations.
With
summits, meetings, gatherings, key notes in the hall,
To reassess all our preconceptions.
Where common
ground is hallowed, linking each to all.
But difference
is sacred and divine.
Get it done.
