The Land of the Free
Where does your allegiance lie?
In the hands of a government known to pry?
In the grasp of a people, sworn to a brotherhood,
Indoctrinated as children and bred into adulthood?
Who came along and swept wider the line,
Between organised religions and organised crimes?
Who took our money in the name of the poor,
And laid it all out upon “Christ’s” front door?
Who made your legislations and stripped of their rights
The gay and the sick and gave the poor their plights.
Who bullies the weak and shits on their soil,
In the name of justice, never for oil.
Who stands and watches a nation struggling and weak
As their own government gases and bombs their streets.
Who watches a child choke and gasp its last breaths,
And refuses to act against human right thefts?
What just establishment makes someone “disappear”
For ringing the truth out loud and clear?
The red, white and blue, as a people must see,
They fight for our freedom when they’re not free.

I would like to stress, I am not "Anti-American"
I am however, largely against the American government's actions on its people and the rest of the world. I feel there is a shroud with congress that falls on a lot of the people in America; as if the government taps its people on the shoulder from behind to steal their wallet from infront of them.
