Land of the free?

  • Land of the free and home of the brave,

 

  • atleast that is what some may say,

 

  • America was the opressed, then soon became the opressor,

 

  • both sending us into waves of disaster,

 

  • wars, natural disasters, revolutions,

 

  • we were all secretly searching for a revelation,

 

  • one that would wake up the nation, and shake us to the core,

 

  • leaving us hungry for more,

 

  •  we decided on Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,

 

  • which gave some unalienable bliss,

 

  • the others were left hungry for more,

 

  •  which caused America to once again be plauged with war,

 

  • Brother fighting brother, disputing over century old ideals,

 

  • were left to be resolved over bodies lying in the fields,

 

  • the solution, an amendment being ratified,

 

  • giving many hope on December 6,1865

 

  • for years my fellow Americans have been blinded by the whiteness of their skin,

 

  • not seeing the massive sin,

 

  • I hope one day my generation, or the future generation,

 

  • help this here nation,

 

  • hopefully they can get rid of the massive discrimination,

 

  • that has for centuries divided this nation,

 

  • we have yet to find the revelation we all have been massively craving,

 

  • hopefully someonne finds the nation worth saving,

 

  • we still have problems yet to solve,

 

  •  hopefully the future will allow us to evolve.
