Show Just Folks ly Edoer A. Guett AMERICA This is America today: A country where the children play; A land of men and women free To speak their thoughts, whate'er they be. Who need not fear, if voices rise The tell-tale tongues of tyrsnt spies. This is America I sing: A land of gardens In the spring: Of strrsms to troll and hills to climb And two weeks, called "vacation time"; A land where men and women find Both self-respect and peace of mind. This is America: a spot Where ancient hatreds flourish not. A land of merriment and song. Despite whatever may be wrong. Which at its worst Is better far Than statea totalitarian are.
