Raise a Glass
Raise a glass to the men
Who wrote that we shall have the right to bear arms for now
People are more likely to be killed by guns here, than in any other country in the world
Raise a glass to Theodore Roosevelt
Who fought for a more Progressive government and yet now
We are ranked the 16th most corrupt country in our world
Raise a glass to Michelle Obama
Who fought to bring an end to child obesity and still
We are home to the highest number of overweight people
Raise a glass to all the organizations
Who collect food to give to the less fortunate and yet still
We throw out 200,000 tons of edible food daily
Raise a glass to the ones
Who attempted to end discrimination and segregation and yet still
We are ranked in the top 10 most racist countries
Raise a glass to the 34% of billionaires
Who are Americans and yet
We are also ranked highest in poverty level
So raise a glass to all the people
Who looked up to our country
For I hope you see just how much it has failed you
