I could be American

my feelings on what it has come to mean to be American

We're all humans
I could be American
If I wanted to,
but I hold too strong
the sanctity of Life.
I'm talking ALL life,
like Iraqis
and Afghani's,
Sudanese
and Kenyans,
Pirates
and Terrorists,
Man, woman, and child.
I don't care
what you've done
you can be striped
of every right
but the one to live.
Well here's my right
and you can take the hit
or move out of my way
because my speech
is a freight train from hell
that's right
I'm talking my way to the top
I could be a politician
but community sounds better
I could be a soldier
but peace sounds better
I could be American
but Human sounds better.
