Land of the Free

A self righteous partition to divide the herds
of political correctness protected by quilted words
but what hppens when the stitching becomes undone
and peoples real views can be expressed and they find it fun.
and dont want to go back to having there freedom of speech restricted
and the curtaain that rests upon the world is lifted 
so people can see the heavens above
i would never love to fight but i would fight for love
if martrydom is just, and martyrs go to heaven.
does that mean there was a reward for the cowards who expressed there 
fundamentalism through the 9/11
or was it not martrydom at all, its just that in this land
religion is the first excuse as its something we dont all understand
