I appreciate you taking the time to comment on this. As I was writing it I was having difficulty choosing the pronouns to use . I first began with "they" referring to the masses but then I realized that I wanted to person who would be reading it to realize that they  are personally connected and apart of it also. So, then I substituted it for "you"but realized that if I used that it would be excluding myself. And I know that I am personally responsible for some of the things mentioned and I am apart of the country of people who were born in the land of the free and should do my part to perserve our freedoms. Then I tried to use "we" and realized it just wasn't strong enough. So then I decided to use all of them because I just couldnt decide on one. The result surprised me it brought forth a whole new meaning. So when I asked my sisters opinion and she said to keep it as only using "they" so that the scholarship commitee that will choose the winner will not feel offended, i just couldn't. The point of the poem is to be a uncensored truth for ALL not just some. So if it would offend the committee that is just the risk i have to take because I could not and would not take away the profound meaning in using all pronouns.  It's crazy how much of a difference the choice of pronous can make. Since the audience is essentially everyone in the land of the free you would think that "we" would have sufficed. But then the whole idea of it being towards YOU the reader, THEY the masses, and WE the nation coming together would have been left out. Again thank you for your comment it definitly reassured me that I made the right decision.
