Whatever Americans

“Whatever” Americans
By Franklin Price

“Whatever” Americans 
Are what we have become
By being politically correct
We've become dumber than dumb

Seems we have forgotten
What America's about
We must return to basics
To remove the current doubt

Most of all there's freedom
To practice what we choose
That doesn't mean the chosen few
We all have much to lose

If we think that what we do
Is the only thing that's right
We should forget about recovering
Flip the switch...turn out the light

We all are U.S. Citizens
Whether naturalized or born
Not African, Hispanic; others 
Makes our nation torn

Until we treat each other
As the citizens we are
The place for which we're searching
Will remain a place afar
