Who Will Love My Country

Who will love my country? My home, my beloved! What has become of you? Cruelty is all I see Selfishness is all that is left Who will love my country? Political promises still ring in my ears With no one to be held accountable Empty promises is all I hear Hope is all that is left Who will love my country? "To serve our father land" We pledged Maybe our "fathers" are different Discrimination even to thy brother Martin Luther's fight in vain. Who will love my country? Diplomat they say they are Tyrants they have become Lords they've made themselves Slave they made me My stomach grumble from hunger Their stomach ache from over feeding We both suffer the same fate Who will love my country? In love and equality we all were created Black or white, humans we are first If only you could see me as equals Then I may love my country Until then I ask with no one to answer Who will love my country?>
