America the beautiful
Is that beauty?

A man of no wealth
Sitting in a cold dark alley
Watching his own life slip away

Is that beautiful?

A mixed race of people
That seem to hate each other
Even though they all bleed the same color

Is that beautiful

Forests of green
Home to many lives
Being chopped to the ground

Is that beautiful?

Drugs that ****
Used at human will
Just to have a good time

Is that beautiful?

Depression hits a young adult
And the only way to relax
Is to take the life they had
Is that beautiful?

A man fights for his country
Attacking in fear
Only to come home in a box

Is that beautiful?

America the beautiful it is not
