John Adams, president, politician and hero.
He can not be belittled to quite the politics of today's society.
He was a man none can describe as ignorant,
For ignorance was his main demographic.
John Adams, a man who will stand above many
Pride of his country, yet not when it remains silent
Fighter of his morals,
True morals they may be.
And yet they still remained silent.
He would have none of this.
John Adams, a powerful speaker
(Only when heard, which was not common for him)
And with views that went far beyond his time
And simply shaped the entire continent.
He, I shall proclaim, is the true founder of America.
For he insisted upon a world
Of true rebellion,
Of true moralistic belief.
John Adams was speaker,
Yet, he was above all, a hero.
For his one statement, one belief: INDEPENDANCY!

final edit
such a strong and outspoken write as the subject,
single minded and hated in congress john stood firm and resolute, INDEPENDENCY a pure and simple concept that was so clear then, but now we have a new king and his gods are corporate sponsers and special interest groups
would john adams be here today he would surely throttle george w. not the leader who went at the head of his troops but the oil baron that sends us to die for his family's profits.
bravo fellow patriot.
