Hello
A well crafted poem. The author has stated their case and driven the point to the end.
It's basically a political poem, with perhaps a limited audience. For that audience it would work well.

    Thank you. You are correct as those who are religious already have that viewpoint and do not need to be reminded.

So true, as Christians we are citizens of heaven, and ambassadors for Christ on earth. We should never get so involved in politics that we forget the great commission, to preach the Gospel to every creature and to make disciples for Christ. Well done.

Patriotism is not a religion--How true! Your poem is excellent in wording and messages. How miserably the human race has failed to follow God's urging to love one another. Nevetheless, the prize is in sight, as you so movingly convey.

You are right. People are putting country before God is actually damaging the country. Yes, man's rule has brought us trouble. If we put God first, that might lead to better behavior between nations and less hatred. People are putting things like the environment ahead of religion. Excellent AABB rhyme. In the last stanza, punctuation is needed between yours and it. A semicolon would work, as you have two sentences run together. judi

    Thank you Melodie Michelle. We differ obviously on the creation of religion. Nevertheless, I appreciate your wonderfully kind review comments.

    I don't see how we differ when we both believe in Jesus!?

I disagree with this statement - Prophecy states, God will end human reign.
Those who oppose him will feel the pain.
Man's rule has brought trouble beyond measure.
God's Kingdom is something we should all treasure. - God is not punishing us, we do... let's not forget He scarified his only son for our salvation. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

    The punishment is yet to come, and oh yes, Dan 2:44 speaks of the kingdom that will put an end to all human kingdoms. I appreciate your review comments.

You are very positive in your writing. It seems a little wistful... if all of these wonderful things occurred, if each man was our brother, if we all spoke to and listened to the words of our Lord; if there was not hatred and war and famine, what a wonderful world this would be. Blessings. M

    If you believe Bible prophesy, you will be happy to know that the day is coming when it will be that way, without end.

    According to Bible prophecy, the end of this wicked system is nearing its end. It will be replaced by a righteous worldwide government ruled by Jesus Christ, and it will never end.

Pride filled nationalism is the enemy of a nation, if we are blessed, it's because Gid blesses, we are not more deserving than other nation, God is answering my prayers, "Make America great again" is not pleasing to the ears of God, only thanksgiving and faith, with worship is pleasing to Him, the world is filled with people, just as important as those in our own country. Your post is of God, I pray they will listen brother, blessings Roy
