Defintion Poem

What is a ________ _______?

A symbol of understanding
A way to see the world
And show the world who we represent

But what is the _______ ________?
For a young misfit
A nation of barely five decades
Made of immigrants
With a really short history
What constitutes history?
What is a _______ ________?

But a social construct
An artificial symbol
For a nation made up
Of odds and ends
Or perhaps just an attempt
To create meaning

Perhaps the question is not
What is our _____ _______?
But the age-old fundamental
Question of who we are.
