America

A Poem by oranges_melt
"

Home of the Brave

"

America, the beautiful

America, the great,

plentiful fighting,

death is our fate.

America is powerful,

but the people love greed,

slipping through fingers,

shatter and bleed.

The country's increasing,

but so is abortion,

recycling lives,

is recycling torture.

The prices are up,

and the people can't pay,

they're poor and they're rich,

but today's not the day.

To stand up right now,

before time slips away,

then chaos will turn,

til there's nothing to say.

America, the beautiful,

America, the great,

help change who we are,

before it's too late.
