Perhaps this version.
The poem " Colossus" written in 1883.
Inscribed upon a statue gifted us by the French:

Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Somwhere along the way. "God bless the USA was co-opted by the warrior culture that has taken root in our country ever since the days of Ike and his warning/ caution. In his farewll address to the country in January, 1961- Heres the full quote, seems prophetic now:

"A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. . . . American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. . . . This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

The question I have. A legit debate
Have we evolved to meet the times?
Or
Have we lost our way along the path to becoming that which we fought against to gain independent from a tyrant king.
Or-
Does it even matter anymore. We are the totality of our deeds... Ie- the road to hell can be paved with good intentions. The gate to heaven opened only by grace & mercy.

I do not have the answer. I know which way I lean.
Yet, who am I to say my lean is correct. I only know this. I will need much grace & mercy if i should arrive at St. Peters gate.
