Description

I've built from boards of stiffer thrones A city on a hill. A heaped-up mound of grander bones I broke to please my will. I've ossified to regimen, A panacean theorem. I've maimed and mauled and murdered men And sometimes I can hear them. I've forged and pounded in the nails, This stigma, my mistakes. But promise feeds on all that fails, And when the morning breaks: Do dreams of truth make truth a dream? Some half-imagined chimera? Or maybe fuel for stronger steam - America. America.

That's a great shot A, makes you wonder about the whole BG to it, looks like someone has been living/playing there, hope you haven't had an argument, is this in Russia.

The American Flag should never be used as an accessory like a window covering or piece of clothing; and the American Flag should never touch the ground in disrespect. The words are powerful but I find the flag's appearance here in bad taste.

MrsLubner this artist did not set the shot only took the picture it is not meant to be disrespectful but how many flags of other countries has your president draped on floor of the earth in disrespect to them.
