Here,

It isn't ALL 4 lines, but you can play around with it!
Hope I get rating!

Start with this one, if you don't like it, go on:

Ruled by the people a continent vast
Alit by the torch our freedom at last
From this experiment liberty pours
Providence leads us to western shores

Try this for info

With our "War on Terror" we have our Manifest Destiny. It must be our God given right to bring war to all those who oppose democracy and liberty, Right? If you don't have democracy we will bring it to you by force, and by God you will like it! That must be how the world sees us, not as liberators but as crusaders with our shining swords and white horses. We who are prepared to kill in order to bring not Christianity this time but Democracy.

The terrorists should be quaking in their boots right? WRONG! One CIA report leaked to the Washington Post describes Iraq as the "New Terror Breeding Ground". There are Many who think that we will force the Axis of Evil to bend to our will. The fact that we can force other countries to bend to our will therefore makes us right to do so. Hell, we are ridding them of their tyrannical oppressors, but what many are beginning to see is that we in turn now look like, and to many, ARE the oppressors. Where is the honor in the act of oppression?

Here is another one, kinda stupid, found it on internet

Have you heard what I call, "the motorcycle story,"
About the guy who owned one overseas?

If you haven't, come sit for a while and listen --
Imagine, for a moment, if you please,

There was this young, naïve civil servant
Packing out at the end of his tour,

If he had to do it all over again
It would be different, that's for sure,

"It's against the rules to ship a motorcycle,"
The head of the packing crew said,

But this little Honda -- 250 cc,
I could list it as a bicycle instead,

That's what the fellow in charge suggested,
To avoid the illegalities of it,

He would manifest the beauty as a bicycle
With "sporting goods" written above it,

The civil servant -- ill at ease, as well as civil,
Went along with the contemplated ploy,

But found, upon arriving at his destination
In the U. S. of A., little joy,

Much to his chagrin, when unpacking his treasures,
He saw one that he didn't really like,

The same packing crate that had held his motorcycle
Contained a shiny, new, red Schwinn bike.

Here is some more information if you need help (I rephrased it a little):

Manifest Destiny is a phrase that expressed the belief that the United States was destined to expand from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific Ocean; it has also been used to advocate for or justify other territorial acquisitions. Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious ("manifest") and certain ("destiny"). It was originally a political catch phrase or slogan used by Democrats in the 1845-1855 period, and rejected by Whigs and Republicans of that era. Manifest Destiny was an explanation or justification for that expansion and westward movement, or, in some interpretations, an ideology or doctrine which helped to promote the process. This article is a history of Manifest Destiny as an idea, and the influence of that idea upon American expansion.

They came westward ever westward
And made us many promises
But they never kept but one
They promised to take our land and they took it!
