HENRI FREDERIC AMIEL. Swiss Philosopher and lived from 1821-1881.
Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means to push back a boundary line and adding to one’s liberty.
America's Blocks
Buried under blocks of tyranny
Our forefathers planned escape
The treason they chose to perpetuate
Would be the wreckage that began their fate
The revolution came with impassioned fire
Liberty their one desire
The contempt they showed rose the Kingdom's ire
The revolutionaries' resolve had grown much higher
The toppled blocks of the mother land
Lay in ruins in the sand
America was under a new command
American's liberty their one demand
Block by block the Republic was erected
The Constitution drafted and freedom respected
Damage tried by tyrants deflected
Liberty required persistence as We the People expected
Our blocks stand for America strong
Facing enemies that come along
If one should fall before too long
It shall rise again against all wrong
