America

It happens, sigh, we sit and cry, 
As more and more Americans die. 

We yell and blame, we publicly shame.  
It’s so routine it’s almost a game.  

I’m right and wrong, we can’t get along.  
Hate fills this country, it doesn’t belong.  

I don’t know why, we let it lie, 
As we let more Americans die. 

Change that and this, ideas dismiss, 
Our actions amount to a jar of piss 

It’s you and me, the land of the free, 
Status quo stays within our apathy. 

We need to try, and fix the why 
Before we let more American’s die.
