"America The Beautiful" (Free verse) by jroday
America, America the world's greatest land.
The land of opportunity if you're from China or Japan,
a land where all your dreams can come true, freedom of
speech and equal rights; liberty is for which we stand.
America, America the world's greatest land.
A land where space travel is more important than finding
a cure to a disease that could save a fellow man.
The richest country in the world but yet not enough to
spend to house, cloth, and feed its own homeless population
of men, women, and children.
A greed hungry land where people will do anything to try
and pull off a million dollar scam.
The land where the illusion of birds in the bush are more
valuable than to have one in the hand.
Where rules are made to back up the actions of drug kingpins, mob bosses,
the rich; of coarse; and let's not
forget the con-artists called businessmen.
In exchange for campaign contributions to the crooked politician.
America, America the world's greatest land.
Whose leader feels it is more important to invade someone
else's foreign land, instead of protecting and securing his
own home land.
People of America it is time to unite, fore united we all stand.
Let's put forth the effort together as one people to bring
peace back to our land.
God Bless America The Beautiful and save her from destruction by the
hand of man.
