"City Upon a Hill" - Johniera, Nailah, Daniel, Vichhay


This Haiku was inspired by the main points of what we believed to be of this speech by John Winthrop. 

Unity and Love
Under God We're Equal
It's The American Dream. 


This poem was inspired by the speech being said on a boat, so we decided to make the poem look like a boat and use our poem above as inspiration.

The words are as followed:

Unity and Love
Under God we're equal
It's the American dream.
Love and Faith
Working together as a whole is prime in order to live a great life time. With God we'll win. The only way to avoid error is to praise God, work amongst one another and love one another. Follow the American DREAM.

            Oh heavenly mother and father, forgive them for they have sinned. Their crimes against our freedom, have led them down the deep roads. A deep road that I fear if we don’t change may lead to our destruction. Ladies and gentlemen our god is not happy and he’s right not to. For we have tried to stop each other from obtaining peace. But here I stand before you with a goal for human rights, our chance for a life. To have our family and friends work together as one. As brothers and sisters under him. Ladies and gentleman we must be the nation that other nation look up to that our upcoming generation look up to. We must be as they would say, “The City up on a Hill.  Now lets take this term the city on the hill. What does it mean to be a city up on the Hill?  Say well for example you have a city on a hill. What does every one below that hill see when they look up? They see everything that’s going on in the city. The ways the people interact with one another. And they want to be like them. That city sets and example.  Ladies and gentleman in order to be this city up on a hill we need to love mercy and be one with our god. So as God is my witness may we travel upon this vast ocean and start off new and avoid this shipwreck from where we are coming from, Praise Jebus .
