Sweet America

AMERICA!

Ah, the sound of that word, 

Damn it use to sound so sweet

to a child.  A child so innocent

to the frame.  Guilty to shame.

To feel the need of being free

in another city.

A place that don't know

what lead is. A bomb or a gun. Just

the innocence of fun.  A smile. 

His laugh. Running through

America's grass.

But behind enemy lines lies

the tyranny of a sly giant who's

money grooms evil.

Green old presidents could kill

a kid's dream of 

AMERICA!

Sounds so sweet to a kid

coming from another country.

Freedom to express yourself, bless the spoilt president, so used to getting his own way but nowfor the first time in his life being told no.

Trump is fascinated with kim(korea) because the man is a dictator ruler. Trump wants to be just like the uncivilized character. A Dam Dictator.n excuse my French.

[Gee]

Wouldn't trust Trump to run a bath never mind a country.

yes, i thought it was America, too...unpatriotic to dissent, that seems to be what we are told now...but we fought for this country and to have the exact freedom to dissent..

Here lately all I hear is, "you can't say this no more, or your not suppose to do that. what the hell, I thought we are in AMERICA.

I totally agree with you on this. Seems our courageousness has been slowly but sure taken away from us. When and why did we ever start diluting our selves for the comfort of others..any how. This poem seems to speak a lot of truth. I myself am quite honest with my words as well. Maybe you'll find some enjoyment in my work as well..:}

these people trying to dictate our lives, it's too clear!
