Red, white, and blue; stars and stripes forever.
Pass in review, yes, our mottos are so clever.
I’d say it’s rather difficult to put it into words—–Wouldn’t you?
I mean have we all become –like nerds?
What is it about love of country that’s hard to write about?—
After all, when they play the National Anthem, don’t we all stand up and shout?
Or do we?
Remember “God bless America, Land that I love”?
I’m sure Kate Smith still sings it from a safe perch up above.
And I still feel patriotic when I think about this land,
but sometimes I do wonder,
“ Where in hell does our country stand ?”
I’m sick of politicians and the bullshit they propound—
for them there’s not an ounce of hope, no solution can be found.
“America the Beautiful” and so it still could be,
But when the streets are filled with blood, the beauty’s hard to see.
It’s a crime, so to speak, and our fiber’s getting weak,
And it’s time we get together and try to fix the squeak,
For the noise that squeak is making, gets louder , we’re all cursed;
And I know that soon our heads will burst before we’ve even seen the worst.
But why do I go on and on when you already know there’s shit on our lawn.
I’VE GOT IT!!! We’ll save our country together!!
(The following is on a huge poster which is held up in the air by the reader as in protest parades.)
DON’T BE PSYCHOTIC! BE SYMBIOTIC, AND TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE OUR
COUNTRY.
P.S. You do believe me, don’t you??? You hear me, don’t you??? Oh my God.
“My Country ‘tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, Land that I Love ….”
OH PLEASE, CAN’T SOMEBODY HELP??
