Americans

Americans 
By Joeysguy

Our founding fathers are probably turning over in their grave
From the way our present leaders behave

Our leaders are giving our country away    
They upset the American people most everyday   

With the new healthcare some people were offered a deal     
While some Americans can’t even pay for their next meal

This administration is giving away our country  
Foreigners sneak over our borders and could get amnesty

Our leaders seem to favor foreign people
Possibly more than the American people

The Government is failing at protecting our border States 
Hate and uneasy is something this administration creates

Washington is slapping Americans in the face
To file a law suit against an American State is a disgrace

Our Constitution are the laws that govern our nation
Our forefathers wrote our Constitution with determination

We are the United States of America and we should never
Let any foreign country come between us, not ever 

What’s happening to this country is a shame
This administration is mostly to blame

Our leaders think they know best
What they are causing is unrest

And shame on a President of the United States
If to do the right thing he hesitates
