The Melting Pot - America, the Melting Pot of Freedom

Lord have mercy, have you seen The fences they put up between America and its border states The melting pot no longer rates Lord have mercy, have you heard Immigration so absurd Where once it had been good and sound The melting pot is watered down Lord have mercy, can you taste The bile this policy has embraced We don’t seem to care a lot About the weakened melting pot Lord have mercy, can you feel The sickness and the need to heal What once made this country great The melting pot has met its fate Lord have mercy, can you smell The stinking hatred that does dwell Here within this country’s fold The melting pot has gone stone cold 5/30/11 for Dane's contest - America, the Melting Pot of Freedom
