Mother Land

Yes I will die for her Yes I will cry for her But I will not turn my head and look the other way I will not stand silent while others make a mockery of liberty I will not stand silent while others Distort the truth And if I offend you I DON'T CARE Human rights for all does not require the denial of mine Freedom of choice is not an entitlement For middle class oppression Pursuit of happiness is not a governmental gift And if That upsets you I DON'T CARE I will pray I will say Under God I will accept you when you accept me If you are appalled I DON'T CARE I will sing God Bless America If it offends you shut your ears If you feel the need to respond Shut your mouth I do not respond to you denying your righTS Do not deny mine There is no room for bigoted fanaticism In this the Mother Land If this makes you angry I DON'T CARE.
