Nave

In the land of the free and home of the brave
Here I sit a bit of a nave 

Babies in cages on the southern tier
Those with power nary a tear

Children is their class room mowed down
AK -47's sold all over town

The globe on fire the Amazon burns
No notice as the world turns

Hurricanes and floods batter the shore line
In the swamp every things fine

Politicians cheat lie and steal
Pigs at the trough never getting their fill

The Proletariat bows and cry out for alms
They are building a wall to keep them calm

No money to educate the masses
But plenty for war in made up crisis 

No leaders to lead in the home of the brave
How could I be so much the nave
