oh my america, I'm trying to understand
how far we,ve come, since we step onto
these sands
we stole from the originals,at the barrel
of the gun
as they offered up their bounty, taught us
about this land
the whiteness of our ancestors, so mighty
they felt
with the good book to guide them, their
pain was delt
dressed in your perfect attire, your regimented
theme
you scorch the land, as the children screamed
round them up again, different colors,
different chains
suppress them once more, as they tend to your
flowers
their dream was to come here, not live in constant
cower
yet prejudice of the past, still remains
the good book and all its glory
interpreted by humans, to fit their stories
yet the shiny star is not so bright
perhaps its starting to fade into history
like every parent whose children misbehave
He will give us time to correct our mistakes
His patience seems forever, such glory of Him
but one wave of His hand, even he might concede
lets try this again
