Letter To Lady Liberty

Letter To Lady Liberty

Dear America, I love you 
But I'm afraid you've been unfaithful
Is this the land of the free?
Or home to despair and poverty
Your people need you we ain't well
Do I need to personally ring the liberty bell?
We got mass shootings left and right 
We are killing ourselves, lady liberty ignite the light
Our government is deeply corrupt
And here you offer Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump
It's like because justice is blind you assume we are too
It's like you don't even have a clue
What it is your people need 
We raise the cattle, we plant the seeds
You can't say I'm not a patriot, yes I am
I just feel molested by Uncle Sam
I'm saying you are supposed to be the greatest super power
Yet thousands here can't even shower
Soldiers have fought and died for you
And you make them do things they don't want to do
I need you to realize what you're doing to us
Because I love my country
It's an issue of trust
My family's wellbeing is of no concern 
I wonder if you'll ever learn
We are here trying to succeed
And here you give us what you think we need
Another politician all about greed
People getting guns with no business having them
And then you try to take from the ones who deserve them
What has happened here is a prostitution
You walked all over our constitution 
And now every time I see the flag
It makes me bow and shake my head
I can't believe what the nation has become today
I'm sure the founding fathers roll in their graves
None of us should have to fight for our rights
You take them away like a thief in the night
This is not acceptable 
We are now a dancing spectacle
Putting on a show for the one percent
Life costs too much, we can't even pay our rent 
And you let them sit and watch us cry
With gold plated dollar sign's in their eyes
And to top it all of you're more concerned with other nations' wars
I'm really wondering what we are starving, homeless and hurting for
I'm starting to think America, that you're evil
I'm starting to think we should see other people

Hello Luke...

The problem also lies with us...

We accept the fate even when the lies stare us in the face...

We impeach what we shouldn't we don't what we should...

Someday we will find the water that holds the treasure for us for the right choices...

Until that day...

We will continue to make the wrong choices...

Remember the final laugh will be the best laughter of all...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Peace brother in arms

Keep fighting the good fight

Keep Standing for something real

Instead of following masquerade

Meekness isn't what life is lived for

If we all stand together we can't fall

One man army... a stealth patriot
