America

A Statue of Liberty stands despite growing pains
Morning welcomes bird feces and political gain
Every heart who seeks new start new chance
Rarely knows the ills of the underdog dance
Is it still the land of the free
Can you become rich and famous and have peace
Are you willing to sacrifice your beliefs for dreams

Who needs famous? Give me rich anytime. NO, I take that back. Give me the chance to work hard to become rich. That's all I ask. And that's definitely possible here, though there are bound to be tough setbacks along the way... ~ gw
