My Mind's In Such a Quandary

My Mind's in Such a Quandary By Franklin Price 11/23/2015 My mind's in such a quandary About the U.S.A. Of our lives and how we live them What we believe and is our way Our great Statue of Liberty That welcomes masses to our shore Our Constitution, Bill of Rights All of this and so much more Was a time when people came For what we offered here Opportunity and freedom What was offered was quite clear Work hard and learn the language Pledge the oath and naturalize Become a U.S. Citizen And your fortune realize No matter your religion Your color or your creed This country offered welcome Now is changing, yes indeed Some people who are coming Want to govern as they will Makes us learn their language I've almost had my fill If you want to benefit In this great land of the free Be a part of where you are Not where you used to be You may practice your religion Speak your language in your home Speak English and obey the laws When you work and when you roam That's really not a lot to ask For this opportunity If that's not within your future Go back to where you used to be

Well said, Franklin! Sometimes it seems like the citizens of this country are losing their freedoms to those who don't belong. Love, Kim

we need to cease being politically correct and start being U.S.A. correct. we need to return to our reason for existing as a country. americans need to be Americans, not "whatever" Americans
