The American Way

Social Commentary Injustices in the land Spreading like wildfire Burning, burning down the wires Of discrimination and bias at hand While quick fixes are a way to go--- All this and more in the American way. Write down your gripes to your congressman! As they sit on their hands doing nothing Not making one move or just do something. Before the damage is done And the blood runs through the land While many died in the American way. The poorest of poor with no food While the rich fat cats' stuff their pockets And the law not doing what they should. To keep the peace across the land Shooting their guns like rockets Killing off those who don’t look like me--- While many died the American Way. There’s a child dying From some poison they swallowed While those who steals and always lying Then blames it on another. Just to the American Way. All the world is a stage And we are the players So, are you ready to play? 12 Jan. 2022
