American HWY

American HWY

A Poem by SjoMC
"

I've traveled in the US and internationally, in the US it is considered a right to be able to travel it struck me very hard when i learned that it was not considered that way else where.

"

Sing to me with freedom

Tar and Rock

Bathed in wind and Sunlight

Glistening neath every starry night

 Sing to me this freedom

Braced in iron and Dreams

With silent inspiration your wayward byways gleam

Held tight by wanderlust Grace pounding in your seams

Whether we travel for joy or must

Tying Sea to Sea

If only the world could be wrapped once by thee

 Sing to me with freedom

Between the rim and speed

God forgive me if be Greed

Somewhere out there may heart my be found

Take me at my need

Voyages desperate and profound

This road that runs from far and wide

To my abide Sing to me this freedom

Yellow Stone to the Everglade

Upon this Glory here may all Humanity cascade

Some times in this world of digital faces

We have made. I wonder how you are in places

Where time has scarred

Where in our ambivalence we marred 

Sing to me with freedom

Always may we maintain and respect

This luxury may we never neglect

 God let us be ever blessed 

May it always free our strength and intellect

 On these highways that know no rest 

Tying Sea to Sea

 If only the world could be wrapped once by thee

  Sing to me this freedom

 Tar and Rock

 Bathed in wind and Sunlight

 Glistening beneath every starry night
