I Am The American Constitution By Katherine Kay Graven I am the American Constitution.Do you know my nameThere is not to be a substitutionI am not to be changed I am the American ConstitutionI do not waver in what I preachFor common men are my leadersIt is God’s wisdom that I speak I am the American ConstitutionFor my people I am here to protect and serveThe ones who are weak among the governmentBut though me they can still can be heard I am the American ConstitutionI was blessed with a soul of my ownWas born from a bloody RevolutionMaking my peoples demands known I am the American ConstitutionMy life is ending my words are being ignoredThere is a Fascist government revolutionSatan himself is knocking at my door I am the American ConstitutionAnd my name is being marredIn the grips of unlawful persecutionBecause a government wants me disbarred I am the American ConstitutionMy fathers spoke of being freeChildren get to know my contributionsYour voice is the only thing protecting me. If I am sent to my executionWhere will that lead my country’s soulFor I am the American ConstitutionThat keeps American’s Government under control Poetry http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-american-constitution/
