My Country 'Tis of Thee

-

W.E.B. DuBois penned My Country 'Tis of Thee, a creative poem that is as patriotic as it is true.
I love that he instructs his intended readers with the preface "Of course you have faced the dilemma...you cannot be ungracious...after all it is your country and you do love its ideals if not all of its realities."

You can read it here.
