Description
I've built from boards of stiffer thrones
A city on a hill.
A heaped-up mound of grander bones
I broke to please my will.
I've ossified to regimen,
A panacean theorem.
I've maimed and mauled and murdered men
And sometimes I can hear them.
I've forged and pounded in the nails,
This stigma, my mistakes.
But promise feeds on all that fails,
And when the morning breaks:
Do dreams of truth make truth a dream?
Some half-imagined chimera?
Or maybe fuel for stronger steam -
America. America.

Nice shot and words, well done...
Great words and capture, Aaron!!!
Very deep on many levels.
Très symbolique sous un certain angle !
Great and very profound shot. Well done indeed.
Excellent shot! Great composition... The words ring true, American or not!
Brilliant words and image, very thought provoking in a way that will satisfy and stimulate many points of view
Une image qui parle d'elle même !!!
That's a great shot A, makes you wonder about the whole BG to it, looks like someone has been living/playing there, hope you haven't had an argument, is this in Russia.
The American Flag should never be used as an accessory like a window covering or piece of clothing; and the American Flag should never touch the ground in disrespect. The words are powerful but I find the flag's appearance here in bad taste.
MrsLubner this artist did not set the shot only took the picture it is not meant to be disrespectful but how many flags of other countries has your president draped on floor of the earth in disrespect to them.
wonderful words and image to go withthem
Beautiful and awesome!!
