Tunnel Vision Food For Thought

Pick a bad apple?  Cut down the apple tree?

Tunnel vision alive and well, in good old USA
it's really not about a flag, it's just another way
Narrow streets for narrow minded, people you can't please
they really can not even see, the forest for the trees
Next thing will be currency, guys on bills must go
license plates and other things, they don't yet even know
Start altering the history books, (oops, already done)
politically correct it is, can't stop they're on a run
Start looking at the ancestors, of all those in their way
eliminating names of those, they think may have been gray
Confederate flag has now been dropped, Swastika's still there
ISIS flag is proudly waved, in marches that they share

Politically correct it is, on both the left and right
afraid to face reality, they're narrowing their sight
You know they can't feel good inside, twisted truth a must
they know true history of the flag, not hatred or disgust
Dig up graves? (it's on their minds) Won't even think it's wrong
with history changed and "Dixie" gone, they'll write another song
From President through Congress, they're spreading lots of hate
for those "community activists" the change is coming late
The hypocrites, the ill-informed, the clueless as can be
they follow like a flock of sheep, down road to misery.....
                                                                                Pete Yuhas
