MY AMERICA

Time to clear the air, take some spare
Time to evaluate the ways we hesitate
And let opportunities pass
To follow the mass
Of people instead of trusting
Our instincts and busting
Out of the mold, risking the cold
Shoulders of others, our sisters and brothers
Who prefer to swallow
The party line and follow
The herd to the slaughter
Political fodder
For the power-elite
Oops, press delete
Rather be spared the treat
of a boarding of water
my resolve likely totter
and my faith in the system
flushed down the cistern, this term
will outlast my will as an outcast,
drinking an empty glass
that’s full of some more crass
statements that alienate
the people of this great

           nation.
