The land of the free
it isn't all it's cracked up to be
Indeed it's worse away from here
But still, as free as we claim to be
as free as freedom should be
It Isn't.
"All men are created equal"
And yet here we stand dividing ourselves
breaking into factions
fracturing families
and falling apart.
Racism reigns
even though we claim
its reign to be reigned in
and restrained.
Feminist fight
"Are women not equal too?
We have fought this fight for far too long
but our voices
seem to get lost in the throng."
Poverty prevails
Growing into a soon to be
insurmountable beast
rearing its head
but still not truly being seen
Politics pollute
Convoluting civil folk
making everyone revolt
not everyone can be appeased
but soon someone will be on their knees
And I fear
I fear that on her knees will be
after all she has stood for for so long
Freedom, Freedom will fall
and when she has fallen
Who?
Who will take her place?
Will it be Justice?
blindfolded and shackled
controlled by a machine
unable to see
the horrors that shall lie at her feet.
