Ode to AmericaA Poem by Black ZodiacWrote in a tough time when my brother went off to war. I am proud to be an American
Oh America! I am just so proud
Red, white and blue. Stars and stripes! War, crime, loyalty, pride. Torture, lies, beauty and pie. Bloodshed is our game We play it with no shame Your life you will someday lay Because that is the American way America has to be number one, When all these wars are finally done. Torture we have come to love A heart, a cross, a flower, a dove These things we used to cherish But now they have somehow perished. Crime was our biggest fear Now we don't shed a tear Morals, ethics no longer exist We punched them out with bloodied fists. Murder, rape, and drugs too All that's said is, "There's nothing we can do." As Americans, we use our crimes for fun We're in a world, where we all own a gun Our jails and prisons are filled up now Don't dare and ask me, how. Loyalty to a world Loyalty to the man who gives you your "hit" Loyalty to your marvelous dad Because to you, molesting isn't that bad Loyalty to your government Where murder and crime came and went Loyalty to one great man Even though he "slipped his hand" Loyal to yourself? But you're covered with the same filth. Pride is where our issues stem To proud to say sorry to them Our mistakes are covered with anger and hate Someday hell will be our fate To proud to admit we are wrong To proud to give up our bong We just can't seem too small We're America, we must stand up tall! Pride is why we abuse But don't use it as an excuse Torture is our greatest joy We turn a man into a little boy Our pleasure comes from your pain Because secrets, secrets we have to gain Verbal, emotional, mental, physical Without this torture, our lives are dull Some of us wake up and try to cure AIDS But torture doesn't take decades We can't show any mercy For number one, we have to be worthy Lies can be seen anywhere But not many people even care Open your ignorant eyes If not, who else will die? Lying about all our sins That way, America wins Lying isn't considered bad It's become quite the fad Our mouths are filled with another lie Our own lies, we have become to buy. America, and our nasty pies. © 2018 Black Zodiac |
