Creep of extremism leaches in bloodstream, numbing
Route of innate thought unpenetrated, retains nothing
Sacred to the self, - stiff agendas pose as omniscient
Obscures own findings, carves our fragile opalescent
Ignores the phosphor we all hold, outlooks pertinent
Absorbs with proffer of doctrines contract penchant
Squashed compulsion, thwarted inside tight quarter
Squeezes dry the yearn for a gyrated circuit's quaver
Penance is a method administered by axiom rations
Ranks routinely recant individual's intuition ravishing
Shrouded rigmarole causes comprehension to shrivel
Oppresses pirouette quick swing of our mind's swivel

We're not just one color
a simple pigment of skin
or race don't define me
get behind me, I'm an American
I don't finish last
I hate not to win
I have not one friend
because I'm all American
Yet I am not the image
unpenetrated by your eyes
my morals are great as
your eagerness to believe lies
my heart sometimes grows heavy
with loss, as any other
I have the same faith in all people
as I do in a brother
so the next lie you hear about me
how about a fact check?
I'm used to it, that American treatment
always an evil stereotype
the ideal of freedom
so worth the fight
I am not just one color
or a pig full of sin
you can see my brand of greatness
time and again
for the pride of an American
cannot be broken or divided
but the ideal of freemdom
which heros have died for
keeps the dream chasers united
