"AMERiCA THE BEAUTiFUL?!"
  by DaDutchezz


america the beautiful?
land of the free and home of the brave?
how bout land of the caged and home of the afraid!
land where street predators
and girl getters
roam free....
but milions trapped in prison
and walkin on death row as we speak
for crimes they didnt commit....
home of officials
who have no right to run th root of it...
where fashion models are the "it" face,
where celebrities fondle little ones and then
win the case...
where segregation isnt dead
regardless of what history tells you...
where black people are expected to live in
section 8
and mexicans are expected to work for the
lower wage
and white people are always the ones on the
newspaper front page...
when you walk down the street
all you see are the homeless
begging for loose change...
and at the picket lines you see citizens
protesting for loose change...
chang in health care
change in taxes
change in opportunity
change in rights...
america the beautiful?!
america the distasteful...
land where "all men are created equal"
unless there is a credit check when buying a
vehicle..
where its ok the classrooms are failing to teach
and teachers are failing to reach
the students
as long as the football team is undefeated....
where administrators dont notice bullying
until "Columbine" happens...
then people fullly
understand once students are dead...
where everydayt people go bankrupt
and every other station on teh radio or tv
the president has to interupt...
the land of "opportunity"...
land of "diversity"....
where a black man has lost the election
before it began,
so i have been told,
and it is said that i woman couldnt possibly
run this country lik a man...
how bout this...
imma change it up and run for office
and have the white house painted then 6 colors i be flauntin...
america the beautiful...
where girls stick fingers down their throat
to catch that "image" of beautiful...
where a never ending war is claiming or soldiers..
where every other country in the world
looks down on us because we claim to be
the land of the free and home of the brave...
whre young get early graves...
where people see the helpless as too so to save...
america the beautiful?
america the beautiful...
america the beautiful...
america the beautiful...
see...no matter how many times i say it
it doesnt sink in...
america the distasteful...
america the shameful...
land of the caged, home of the afraid...
land of the selfish, home of many graves
that could have been saved....
america the beautiful...
land of the free...home of the brave

this was a nice way to express yourself and stand up and take notice of errythin' that get's overlooked, I'm lovin' this one, just cuz it stays so true to errythin' we as people have to experience but others just look at like it's just another day, keep it up!
