Poem
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
chasing the promise of freedom and hope
came to this country to build a new vision
far from the reaches of kingdom and pope.
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches.
Later some got slaves to gather riches,
Once the ties with the crown had been broken
westward in saddle and wagon we went.
Until the railroad linked ocean to ocean,
many the lives which had come to an end.
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland,
we began the slaughter of the red man,
but still from near and far to seek America
they came by thousands to court the wild
and she just patiently smiled and bore a child
to be their spirit and guiding light.
The blue and gray they stomped it,
they kicked it just like a dog,
and when the war was over
they stuffed it just like a hog.
Although the past had it's share of injustice,
kind was the spirit in many a way,
but it's protectors and friends have been sleeping,
Now it's a monster and will not obey.
The spirit, it was freedom and justice
and it's keepers seemed generous and kind.
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
but now they don't pay it any mind
because the people grew fat and got lazy.
Now their vote is a meaningless joke.
We babble about law and order,
but it's all just an echo of what we've been told.
The cities have turned into jungles
and corruption is strangling the land.
The police force is watching the people.
and the people just can't understand,
that we don't know how to mind our own business
because the whole world has to be just like us.
Now we are fighting a war over there
and no matter whose the winner, we can't pay the cost,
because there's a monster on the loose
and it's got our heads inside a noose.
America, where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know that we need you now?
We can't fight alone against the monster.
