Miss America
From Forest far, high and wide
The lives of my children now collide
With I-pods, flat screens, cars and gold things
Is this the life I was meant to bring?
A new sun rises and a baby is born
In this hell hole country that’s deeply torn
With war and greed
May god please feed
Those starving children
Who are in need
They don’t understand the pain I feel
Like being in a dream that isn’t real
Or climbing a mountain to get to the top
When will their foolishness finally stop!
They do not know their native tone,
And reject the religion with witch they were born
Their children in ways I cannot explain
They think that life is just a game!
A single tree alone in the ocean
I find myself feeling drugged by a potion
As my leaves fall they scream and shout
THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED MY KIDS TO TURN OUT!!!
I pray they learn to do good things
And become the hope that I know they’ll bring
OH MISS AMERICA
How terrible you are
BUT THANK YOU MISS AMERICA
Because of you they’ll go far...
