QUOTE : The Country Sonnet<br /><br />I stand beneath the southern sky,<br />Looking up at the heavenly bodies.<br />The twinkling stars know no color,<br />Then why we mortals beneath act so puny!<br />Country means heart, country means humility,<br />All that is pure is born in the country.<br />How could we poison its innocent soul,<br />By our savage escapades of bigotry!<br />It's high time we be the example of kindness,<br />For the streams of Mississippi carry acceptance.<br />Behold ye all blind with confederate pride,<br />Conscience rises above the Blue Ridge Mountains.<br />Let's resuscitate the country with love and passion.<br />We'll turn this land into a cradle of amalgamation.
