Patriotism.

2/13/2011

America, great melting pot of
Disgruntled and unsatisfied men.

Land of the free (who afford it)
Home of the brave (who endure it)

Superpower of the beckoning world,
Your glory and grandeur slowly fades.

Recession ready conservatives, Grand Ole’
Backbone of our bone broken land,

Liberty has stubbed her toe on the
Corner of your politics.

How many more times will you reassure
Your people that the banner yet waves?

How many more false dreams will you sell
To maintain your spotless image?

America! Land of opportunity,
When will you knock on the doors of yours
In disgrace with fortune?

What will you add to determine our equality?

You America, clad in complaints,
Your whining will do no more!
