This poem moved me practically to tears: America Is the Poem, by Joseph Massey.

Pure love of country and its people, its history, its cities and its countryside: that’s what we’ve got here. That’s what I just have to share with you. “A poem for Donald Trump’s second inauguration as president,” reads the subtitle.
Our nation’s spirit isn’t used up yet. We are not finished, we are not defeated. We have survived the Biden anti-presidency.
And now it’s time for peace and sanity to be brought back to a troubled world.
