One Less Evil Dedication To the Usa

It shouldn't have taken as long as this
How could we even miss?

Committing many sins
Evil never wins

It was up to us to put evil out to sea
And
Leave it where it needs to be

It has brought a renewed sense of pride in America
And 
A celebration was overdue, even for Justice

Remaining vigilant should be our goal
For many lives he stole

Though,evil will always be in the world 
In our time of great need
Its up to us to be in the lead
And
To prevent others greed

We are the worlds greatest country,you know
And
It needs to remain so

If ever there is a time of tragedy 
We need to keep our sanity
Even
To be weary of betrayers

I sadly do not trust 
Even
If they act as a friend to us

I am in no way superstitious 
No matter what history teaches us

Jealousy
Envy
Of all, we want to be
Thats what it seems to me
How easy it is to see

God bless the U.S.A,
Is all I have to say
For,
I love her in every way
