Americans have been taught that their nation is civilized and humane. But, too often, U.S. actions have been uncivilized and inhumane.

Standing Out Reality
I'm living in a civilized nation
Seeing true colours of cultural chime
Black or blue white too
All around the globe god bless you
Let's come together
We will fight
Our natural colours with delight
Civilized nation insight
Looking bright as we fight
For freedom and the guilt or racism...
A pulse in the eternal mind-Anagram Poem
Inhumane lisper talented.
Hell! I am a superintendent
Inane, up hell’s terminated
Headier, small, unpenitent.
Shut inane, an ill tempered
Leaden lush, I’m a pertinent
Humane perils in talented
Ill-natured, shape eminent
Inhumane let and reptiles
Help! I’m a sunnier talented
Inhumane talented perils
Neat hills, I am unrepented
Humane and silent reptile
Handle in sleepier mutant
Underneath ailments pile
An idle, supereminent halt
I’m a lethal, unrepented sin
Up ill mannered ‘n’ hesitate
Lamented pleasure in thin
idle snarl-up, heat eminent
Serene handle, up militant
Up eminent idea enthralls
I am the nude sin repellant
Lupine time Neanderthals.
Inane semen, putrid, lethal
Humane, planted, resilient,
Puerile hand, sentimental
Mushier and penile talent
Pluralist heed, an eminent
I 'm a stunner, idle elephant
Inane sell, I am the prudent
Serene handle, up militant
A pulse in the eternal mind
Help uninterested animal!
Insane elephant, true, mild
Unite simple Neanderthal.
In neat prudish elemental
Annihilated supreme lent
Pinhead, rule sentimental
Dishearten lupine lament
Near human, idle, pestilent
Lepers headline in mutant
Ill hate and supereminent
Remained insult elephant
The poem is the anagram of the title

There are people who wish to do us harm in the most heinous way. They want to kill Americans simply because they are Americans. They wish to destroy our culture and Nation because they don't like our freedoms, they don't like the fact that we are prosperous.

Return To Unity
They took the Native Americans
land in the U S of A
wasn't there a better way?
Did America become more civilized
seems like we haven't changed.
The Earth is in dire straights—
Now we must go back to their way
the way the Native Americans
way of living and philosophy in their day.
They know the Rainbow children
are here now along with Crystals and Indigos
they will help restore the planet
with what they know.
If we don't listen to our children
we will reap what we sow.

Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional.

One Nation Under God' -The Only Way
'One nation under God'
Recall that phrased foundation
When Americans were so glad
Its fathers built the nation
On steadfast godly principles
Of Truth, Faith, and Honor,
His Word then guided all the people
And progress blessed like none before.
'One nation under God'
Return to this, your steady Rock
Only in Him the nation stands
A sure foundation, the Building Block
God bless America and protect it with His Hand.

All Across The Nation
All Across The Nation,
Is Hunger And Starvation.
All Across The Nation,
Is Racism And Discrimination.
All Across The Nation,
Is Poverty And Overpopulation.
Why Don’t We Stop This Pain?
There’s A Lot More We Can Gain.
Why Not Help Each Other?
Instead Of Killing One Another,
Actions Speak Louder Than Words,
So Lets Do Something About It!

It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans, who are not really Americans.

Lost in a Inhumane World
Im lost within a world
A little world of my own.
Not quite real
Or even humane.
Lost in a world of depression.
Lost in a world where
People will pick and jibe.
Lost in an inhumane world
With no exit sign.
God how do I get out?
Out from a world
That is cruel
Where people must judge me

It has never demonstrated any desire to provide humane treatment to captured Americans. If anything, the murders of Nicholas Berg and Daniel Pearl declare al Qaeda's intentions to kill even innocent civilian prisoners.
Libel actions, when we look at them in perspective, are an ornament of a civilized society. They have replaced, after all, at least in most cases, a resort to weapons in defense of a reputation.
