Freedom

I thank god I live in this country more and more each day
Where I have freedom in my choices and my opinion is ok
In other parts of the world people can get hurt for beliefs
It's really sad and heart wrenching to say the very least
I respect anyone's choices on how they wanna live their life
But when over 200 girls get abducted it makes me wanna cry
How long can we sit back and let certain things get outta hand
I know we have freedom in this country but we gotta take a stand
It doesn't matter your religion I feel most people have good hearts
And getting to really know a person is where it really starts
Is it fair for a country to suffer because they don't have food
Or for innocent people to die because someone's in a bad mood
Tsunami,s earthquake,s tornado,s are things in life we can't avoid
But when lives are lost for no reason that really makes it hard
I write these words in my poem without being afraid of what I say
Cause I live in a country with freedom of speech the great US of A
