American Minority

I vote every election; Wonder if my voice is ever heard. I served in the services; Sometimes my treatment was absurd. I pay my bills on time, And I abide the law. Seems sometimes being an American minority Is the major flaw. I still lift my pride, and my head high. I fly the Eagle's colors Every Fourth of July. I was born in this place Called the "Land of the Free", Seems sometimes being an American minority Is all I can be. I will be a citizen here Until the day I die. I give allegiance Every single day I rise. I salute the soldiers, Because I hear "Reveille"; Seems sometimes being an American minority Is as American as me.
