Without God, we are lost as a country

From a 15-year-old’s perspective of our country, deep sadness fills my heart as I look back at what our country used to be.

My tears fall vainly for a country that’s dying, but I will always remember the men who died so we can all be free. Look at the Star-Spangled Banner waving in the wind with fierce pride. In God we trust shall be our motto, land of the free home of the brave. Why do the "elites" treat us this way? For all they see is money and power.

In a world full of wickedness, will goodness and truth surely prevail? Without God, our country is nothing. Without religion and morality, freedom cannot stand firm in its foundations.

My future is set up for totalitarianism between the government and artificial intelligence. They will try to control me with their deceiving ways.

In God I will trust, for America is the land of the free home of the brave.
