Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

In bustling cities where dreams take flight,
Amidst the chaos, people strive and sway,
A tapestry of faces, colors bright,
Unity in diversity, a sight divine,

All these muffled mumble mouths are farting gas,
with a less complex range than an enslaved ahss,
inspiration sadly discarded as they spas,
the rap I grew up with is a thing of the past.

Unlimited power to effect our popular elections.

		when a chill is in the air
		when snow is in the forecast
		and hockey sticks appear

Smartly dressed, all smiles, like I care.
Trying to fit in a world that has no fittings.
Standing straight and decent, in spite of my beatings.

This world is so cruel, yes...

which turns our humanity from one

True workplace beauty resides not in grand corner offices
Or sleek designer furniture that impresses.
Nor is it found in trendy open floor plans,
Or state-of-the-art gadgets in employees' hands.

Created by bad apples that
