Losing Our Rights
How can we just watch and under our breath complain,
While are rights are being thrown down the governments drain,
Why do we close our enlightened eyes?
Instead of speaking the truth and exposing their lies,
If suddenly we had no human rights,
To believe in what made our hearts once ignite,
We would wonder how it got this far,
America don’t you know who you are?
How can we live every single day?
Complacent, or in fear of what they say,
Distracted by media, entertainment and fraudulent news,
While every second we are losing our right to choose.
