AmericaA Poem by Just Simple Sounds
America
-In a land where freedom is kept in a caged box -Where free speech is silenced -And unalienable rights, -Are only for the over privileged -This is my land, my home -Racism around every corner -And discrimination behind every door -Lies hold the keys to unlock the truth -And behind smiles, lie deceit -This is my land, my home -This is ... America -Where my skin color will make a woman hug her purse -Then double over, and when I pass, -Look over her shoulder -This is where prostitution is an institution -Where oppression, is the only way to keep progressing -This is my land, my home -Where lost souls roam, -And make excuses for their excuses -And one nation under God, -Only exists when pen meets paper -You can't deny the aura -Nor the evil allure, -Mistaken to be greatness in full -Modern day Sodom and Gomorrah -This is my land and my home -This is ...
