TBOF (Take Back Our Future)

They tell us to invest in America, but tell me why?
Can you ensure that the American Dream isn’t another lie?
They say capitalize on the future, but who would try?
After I give you my last, would you care if I die?
They plead that the children are the future, but is that in vain?
Because when those children can’t succeed, what do we gain?
They say life is a battlefield, with an even plane.
But to say you honestly believe that, would prove insane.
We all heard that “less is more”.
But is less more when poverty is stuck at your door?
Is less more, when finding a place to sleep is a daily chore?
We can’t think that someone else will help, we just can’t ignore!
It’s time to put up that SOS and bond as one.
It’s time to get serious until things are done, until everyone’s won.
There’s no more race, nationality, region- Just mother, brother and son.
So tell the person who’s in charge, that our freedom is not for sale, close this auction, DONE!
