They'Ve Got a Ticket To Fly
Letter to the rest of the world:
don't feel sorry for the United States of America.
the vast majority of we the people get along just fine...
its the five percent (dead enders) fueled by the press
that think lady liberty owes them something
that democracy has somehow failed them
but truth be told they have failed democracy
they've turned shortcomings into flaming arrows
firing them at members of society-
if you don't fit their narrow minded narrative
you're branded a racist
your successes diminished
by chants of white hot privilege..
In their regressive malice in wonderland world-
good becomes bad-bad becomes good
rioters and thugs are turned into martyrs
the flag of freedom and thin blue line are scorned.
For the most part we the people are doing fine..
plodding along doing our best in life..
learning from the past-not dwelling on patina sins.
The disgruntled losers amongst our society
spray paint America as a horrible place to live...
but the funny thing is I don't see any of them fleeing
asking for asylum in another country
they'd just rather continue taking and complaining
they've no intention of ever giving something back.
The haters in this country find grand wizards in every breeze
behind every thin blue line with every stir of a leaf..
some are even trying to put Jesus into exile
for crimes of purity and compassion?
spray painting the gates of heaven
with the the latest flavor of hate.
The grand illusion that America
is systematically racist is the latest flavor of madness.
if that were true there'd be no chance in hell
America would have elected a black man as
the leader of the FREE WORLD.
are you woke yet!
I say if you think its so bad here
simply take the next flight out
into the third world
I'll happily pay for your one way ticket..
I say you'll be back before you can say Xi
complaining and demanding things
because you know you've got it made.
