A country born from your theology;
The key idea I see you have forgot
Is that in this land all of us are free:
Free not to worship as you choose, but to
Consider what we do ourselves think right;
To pray to your God or if we want, not, too,
Without your interfering oversight.
And if we have (have always) fallen short
Of that ideal, and lessened freedom's range,
That does not mean that you get to abort
The thought itself, or make the ideal change:
It means we have some work to do. Our nation
Is larger than your cramped imagination.
