I AM AN AMERICAN

by D. Ault

I owe you no apologies,
Nor will I accept those apologies made for me by others.

If you dislike me - you dislike me not for what I am,
But what you are not.
By my own sweat, I have created a lifestyle which I desire for all men.

To the world, I have shared my wealth and given my blood,
Not because of obligation- but of my free will.
I have fed the hungry of the world.
Many have bit my hand; I used the other hand.

I defeated my enemies in battle,
Then pulled them up from the ashes of defeat.
Once strong, they again attacked,
I turned the other cheek.

Though I am strong,
I have never used my strength to rule others.
But do not misjudge me,
I will not allow the fear of my own strength
To become my weakness.

If you wish to rise, I will give you a helping hand.
But by the grace of God,
And I'll first be dammed,
If I'll let you drag me down
So that we may be equal.

I should've added a after my comment, reckon by now people on both sides of the pond are used to sparring over spelling differences and treat it more as a tongue in cheek sport

@quantumushroom Those of us from the British Isles tend to spell words correctly because we've been using this language a hell of a lot longer than residents of other countries around the world. Coincidentally did you know that the English language originated in England? Yes I know, how bizarre!
