The Decaying of a Nation
The land of the free,
The home of the brave,
Building up walls
That will only decay
Liberty and Justice,
For a select few
For the rest of the people
It doesn’t seem to ring true
Segregation and hatred
Has swept our sad nation
Riots in the streets
Where we used to vacation
Our rights being stripped
But nobody listens
We are easily distracted
By objects that glisten
Wall street with the wolves
Homeless stacked in the streets
Praying in churches
Accepting defeat
What has become
Of the place we call home?
Violence and division
Have swallowed us whole.
We were once a strong community
A powerful net work
But now we’re constantly worried
About celebrities net worth
Changes must be made
We must fill ourselves with wisdom
To break the vile cycle
And free ourselves from the system.
