America Is Who We Are

Some live their lives helping others
The less fortunate, we defend
Providing food, shelter, clothing & jobs
Hoping they’re better off in the end

Others live inconsiderate lives
Humane is not how they feel
They act as if they’re all that matters
In this age… they better get real

‘The melting pot of the world’
People coming from lands quite far
Feeding & caring for others
America is who we are
