America the Flawed
They call her America the Beautiful
the wonderful, the wise. And
they tell me I must be
patriotic, if I am to
learn to rise. But I lay in
disguise as I do not
romanticize the enterprise
of our nation. No, I empathize
with those who are
surprised and feel the
need to revolutionize in
order to survive.
Because day after day we
continue to lose our own. No,
not overseas or in the air, but
in our own homes. We hold
dear our Constitution, using
it to justify this institution
of never finding a resolution
to the constant death and
betrayal which survive in this
victim of a revolution nearly
200 years ago.
And I … I just know this
isn’t where we were supposed
to go. That our Founding Fathers
would overthrow our current
system if they would have gotten
the memo of our show. Whoa… There are
constant shootings as a result of
our second amendment. With our entire
government too dependent
to even try to amend it. With the
Senate’s fear of acting unpleasant
to be attendant. With our citizens
too full of resentment to seek any
vengeance.
And the poverty… This country
has no sense of equality, despite
the declaration giving every man
the right to “life, liberty, and property”
Forced into the corner of
robbery, praying to win the
lottery, life of such low
quality, the rich minority looking
down upon us with their snobbery,
making me question if we even
abolished the monarchy.
So, what I am suggesting?
That we stop with the
arresting of the victims of
our messy nation. That we
take to protesting instead
of resting so we can start
investing, with the blessing
of the past. That instead of
messing we start stepping
up. That we begin electing
people to do the protecting
of us.
So no, I don’t believe that
America is home to the
brave. It is a dark cave
built on the backs of
slaves known to misbehave.
It has been deprived for
too long and is engraved
with the graves of those
who wanted to save its
memory. And I know that
we crave the enclave
we created, but we must
wave goodbye until
America learns to
behave.
