America the Great!


Don't speak up,

Don't step out of place,

Don't express yourself and,

By God, don't voice your opinion.

 

If those putrid words slip out,

You're a goner.

No one can take the truth;

You must hand it to them on a silver platter

or in words that set their beliefs and ideals.

 

If you disagree, you will be silenced

as anyone without their same opinion

is in the "wrong place at the wrong time."

 

It is through this that makes America the great full of those who hate.
