 AMERICA

Home of the free, land of the brave

My country, my nation none other do I crave

The land where dreams are realized with hard work

Where imagination is appreciated and not corked

The land of opportunity

This is America

 

A place that allows its people to be free

Catholic, atheist or LGBT

Where education though not at its peak is of high quality

And the army fights to restore serenity

Where the people have the right to question their government

And can openly oppose tyranny and mismanagement

Where monopolies have been broken down and outlawed

Allowing other businesses to flourish As people watched in awe

This is America.

 

 The people of this nation have dreams

Dreams as far as the eyes can see

Some that will be achieved in a year or five

But into the testing waters they will dive

Some want a white picket fence with a nice family

Two kids different sexes and a kitty

And a car preferably a Lamborghini

But not all have this fantasy.

 

America land of the free, home of the brave

The ultimate melting pot

We honor those whose lives they patriotically gave

And we forget not

Those who died from acts of terrorism

Those who were killed for believing in something different

Those who fought for freedom

Those who laid down their reputation to support a cause

Those who endured discrimination

 

This is a place you would want to be

Where people would lay their lives for liberty

Where civil unrest leads to a resolution

A nation that can pick itself up from a fall

And stand proud and tall

THIS IS AMERICA!
