Poem
THIS LAND OF THE FREE This land of the free, I wouldn’t call her by name She’s a bully at heart and she carries no shame This land of the free, where all men should be one Where excuses are made for one’s use of a gun This land of the free brings you down to your knees She releases her evil with poise and such ease This land of the free harbors malice and hate For some there is hope and for some it’s too late This land of the free hides her wrongs in plain sight With her laws held in hand, she will always be right This land of the free sends a message to some That her reach is far wide and there’s nowhere to run This land of the free where equality roams In the minds of the men who pay rent for their homes This land of the free that aspires for gold To be right for her club, just be men and be old This land of the free tries to rescue all souls But her people oppose and it shows in the polls This land of the free keeps her eyes on that man She imprisons him daily, giving life when she can This land of the free has no lid for her mouth She gave freedom of speech so her children could shout This land of the free where big eagle wings fly As high as those dreams sitting way in the sky This land of the free sets her focus to win She will punish her child with no proof of a sin This land of the free where one’s beauty won’t fade She made friendships with knives and new faces were made This land of the free with her sun, rain and snow Has delivered a punch that’s sent many below This land of the free where the dollar is king Some say freedom was gained by those necks in a sling This land of the free is resilient and strong She had many past leaders yet none wore a crown This land of the free, will bring riches and fame She stands tall in the sky holding on to her flame This land of the free shines a beacon of hope Come one or come all if you think you can cope Check out my book entitled, The Untamed Mind" for more great poems. Available at Barnes and Nobles, Amazon and Completelynovel.com
