America 2025-So Far

America twenty twenty-five This year is all the way live Drones in the Jersey Sky In California, the fires fly Planes crashing in the air Black Hawk helicopters unaware Who do we blame? Affirmative action, DEI, what is in a name? Puerto Rico's electrical grid is a shame Carolina recuperating from Helen the Hurricane And now the East is seeing flames The border out of order Can we ever get Flint Michigan some decent water No one ain’t buyin’ what the gov is sellin’ Who you tellin? East Palestine Ohio’s lands poisoned Parts of Hawaii is still dusty Down south selling flooded cars, the insides rusty No more empathy but imagine the what ifs? We gonna be too busy paying high bills with all the tarriffs Snow falling in Florida as they try to stay afloat In a few years biblically we all may need a boat Who are we Americans to gloat? New Year celebrations have gotten uneasy I miss the days when the streets were safe and breezy Let's just hope this year's mass shootings decease But so far violence has no urge to decrease True American culture tainted in vain I was raised to prosper and maintain Be respectful and try not to inflict pain Who can we shame? America once a land proud to claim The past 20 years have truly displayed their game Thanks to social media I swear you don’t even need an encyclopedia The ignorance is blatant Corruption prevalent Regard for human life no more They even stopped the eagle from its soar You can't make this up, it's true to the core Who is keeping score?
