America

“America” a poem America………. America………. The Beautiful The Home of the Brave Who’s going to help you, After all you do? Who’s going to lead, When all you see is the greed? We put our foot in the door; one more time than before but we forget the needs that we have right here, The ones we say we hold so dear America………. America………. We’re lovin Haiti but we’re killin in places like Kuwaiti!! With all the kill'in we are makin, no wonder they are hat'in What’s up with Iraq, Will our soldiers ever be able to come back? We kill our men a time and again Our country has no money, somethings sure feeling funny We leave our people behind; The ones who are free but we’re sure not kind We need to steer, what we hold so dear The money we spend The blood we shed What about our poor and the sick that endure? We’re out of work Can’t pay our bills Got no health care and our media keeps us scared America……open your eyes………take care of your own It’s sure not fair, when we’re all right here We’re all right here We’re all right here America, take a look right here
