America: Home of the...


Home of the….

You can see it without your spectacles

of the people by the people and for the people

War and death granted at 18

A way to forget it at 21.

We feed foreign nations while some starve on our streets

America Home of the…

Children with such bright futures

Educated in history by the call of duty

The last frontier by Halo

Urban issues by Grand theft auto

And we wonder why there’s violence.

America Home of the…

Ingenuity and invention

Sad to say we’re also a place of babies with a cocaine addiction

Where democrats and republicans agree on nothing

And even if they did they don’t deserve applause

Because they tend to mend with bandages not cure the cause.

America Home of the…

System where things are always moving backwards

Where real educators make less than mediocre actors

An increasing percent of kids are growing up as bastards

Yet here I am glad to be in

America Home of the…

Society we can be whatever we want

It’ll take more than writing to change our communities

And if you so choose we all have the opportunity.

America Home of the Capable.
