The moment we are born

Mon, 02/13/2017 - 02:17 -- tfuen97

The moment we are born we are told who we are

To our mothers, to our fathers it's a path we'll never stray afar.

America the beautiful, America the strong

It's a place we want to thrive but soon we'd find out that we are wrong.

 

Coruption in the homes corruption in the streets

To the tax man, the politician, you're just their next piece of meat.

People feed the homeless only to get arrested

I'm telling you right now the city ain't the only thing rat infested

 

I read the history books and I know what I see

This isn't how the founding Fathers wanted it to be

Dangerous freedom is better than comfortable slavery

End the police state and over regulating and America will be everything it needs to be.
