Land of Liberty
By Deborah Johnson, copyright 2015
Only in America the land of the free, you may find men hanging from a tree.Men will cross the border expecting to be free; instead they catch a bullet in the eye or the knee.
Only in America the land of the free, native are slaughtered, and/or driven away from the sea. Men will deliver goods, for trading you see; the men must never speak of the word "we."
Only in America the land of the free, you may be shot in your head, while lying in your bed. Men take babies straight from the womb; crush them with no remorse and have lunch by noon.
Only in America the land of the free, you may sit in your living room , while watching rape and/or murder on a TV. Men will go to clubs just to get laid, women will go to jail if they are paid.
Only in America the land of the free; murderers are licensed, so are the theive's, schools are literally war zones, while children are not allowed to turn on their phones.
Only in America, the land of the free; dogs are more privileged.... than you or me!
