Does It Matter America
by Nick Flores
 

Does It Matter America?

Yes it matters who we are individually

That we make a stand for right against wrong

Without selfish connection to organized thought processing

Decided by opened minded discourse collectively

 

Yes it matters who we are collectively

That we take a stand and for freedom yes we must fight

Not for our cosmic one and only gods or our personal redemption

But for our human brothers and sisters individually

 

Can we speak to each other rationally?

If I am for peace and you are for war can we both use reason

If I am for war and you are for peace we are symbolically unified

Understand that in due time we will be judged intelligently

 

Can we speak to each other intelligently?

That if we are both just and strong there lays our beacon of hope

That if we are just only strong this will not cause a united state

Then who is free to join the pursuit of liberty individually or

collectively rationally?

Yes it Matters America!
