What does America mean to you?
Is it just the red white and blue?
Are the stories really true?
Just between me and you
I believe America is the best anyone could do!
The wind caresses each leaf as she blows by
Wisping through each blade of grass and grain
Helping every beautiful baby bird take flight
Though Her beauty could not compare
An underlying rage was unforeseen
thrashing trees and bees
leaving families astray
To wonder,
wait.
