Poetic Podcast Episode 33
I’ll be honest, I like living here.
Maybe it’s being born in the DMV;
Maybe it’s my grandfather,
who did 20 years in the military;
It could be my deep love of freedom,
knowing it’s okay to say ‘I’m pissed.’
It could be that l can speak openly
without fear of being killed for it;
It’s in my blood, I love it here.
Maybe Mad City’s in my DNA;
Maybe it’s my strong roots,
spread throughout the streets of D.C.
It could be that this is my home
and nothing else needs to be said;
From coast to coast I could wander,
but I’ll always find my way back;
There’s room to better this country,
true; but there’s nowhere I’d rather be;
Draped all over in red white and blue
I’ll be honest, I’m nothing if not patriotic;
I love living here.
