Whose America Do We Live In? |
Freedom is a Tricky Thing... America, the land we love, the place where dreams come true. A country won by freedom's fight! A chance to start... anew. A place where the most common soul is promised equal rights. A place where good hardworking ones can reach their highest heights! But things can run amiss as time moves on and countries age. We tend to want to change the rules with brazen, glaring, rage. For each of us has chosen what it is that freedom means. We shout it out with vengeful spite behind our hidden screens. We say things we would never say if we met face to face. Our arrogance to prove our point sheds light on our disgrace. Our views on what we see as truth are built on what we're shown. We idolize those we believe; and thus, THEIR seeds are sown. Be right or wrong - our hate grows on; it's building brick by brick. A wall that grows with every stroke; with every entered click. And as we scream with fingers drawn, like holsters for a gun; we've set our sites upon ourselves! Our neighbors - everyone. The Cyber World's a scary place for those who live in fear. And there's a wealth of brutes to prey on what YOU want to hear. And even though we all want truth to reign, to understand... It's obvious, in cyberspace - truth's lost in no man's land. Our lives... our most sincerest lives we live from day to day. When we go out into the world we all seem to convey a sense of who we truly are as we meet passersby. We nod our heads and say hello - without a battle cry. We MUST remember who we were and who we want to be. We ALL are part of ONE great quest America --- THE FREE! But free for who? It's free for ALL! Or freedom cannot ring. We have the right as citizens to choose which way we spring... Our nation stands to lose itself as squabbles turn to hate. With careless fingers we've become divisive and irate. It's time to come back to the view of standing side by side; and leaving all that cyber crap to those who've whined and lied. We're EACH of us... Americans! We share a special bond. We cherish freedom, ALL OF US with rights that correspond. To disapprove of what YOU say... I have that precious choice! And I'll defend, 'till death, YOUR right to speak with your own voice. God Bless Our Country #SoftenTheDivide... |
