United U.S. - A Poem by Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan

United U.S.

The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan spent much of his years in the West in the United States. This week, we are celebrating the Independence Day of the USA and thought we would share his poem tilted "United U.S".

In recent times, we have been facing many challenges both as a country and a global community. It is refreshing to hear his words about the ideals with which the United States of America was founded. Here is the poem, United U.S.:

United States.

Everybody loves, nobody hates

Some came early, some came late.

What a pretty country,

Everyone dates.

Land of Jesus, Moses and Abraham.

Land of fulfilling Guru Gobind Singh's dream.

Blue clear skies,

Lightning and thunder.

United States is us,

It is God's wonder.

People are hardy, honest and good,

Blunt and clearheaded, as one should.

People are loving, have no boast,

Wonderful land from coast to coast.

Nation of nations,

It is one nation.

For the freedom of man,

God's creation.

Shining sun and star filled skies,

Majestic mountains, standing tall and high.

Where man is free, freedom above all,

Poor and rich all walk tall.

Spirit is flowing - people are learning,

Wheel of Time always turning.

God loves America, wonderful land,

United, united in God's own hand.

~Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan

(December 23, 1979)
