Dear America
I'm only embarrassed of you,
because I'm a history major
and I know what you've been through.
Some musical artist make me proud
to be an American,
Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, and Lou Reed
they keep me lying in bed.
Christmas time is coming
as well as the folk songs too,
they keep me loving constantly
but also give me the blues.
Now Neil Young comes on my playlist
from above me; Canada,
he writes of America beautifully
and lets me feel love.
Why is it that a Canadian
can write better of a country
than its own members,
it is coming to me bluntly.
