land of the?

land of the?

A Poem by untoldtruth

Here in this land of infinite paths
a place where people come for freedom
for peace, for equality
here in this land of lies and hate
they have been tricked 
into believing they're safe
we rip them open
tear them down
make them want to turn around
and go back to the land they had tried to flee
We pick on gays
who just want to have the same rights
rights that they deserve as people
we pick on Mexicans
some not even from there
but dark skinned 
and therefor the same
we pick on those in need
look down our noses

This is the United States.
the land of the free 
or the land of greed and hate?
