Letter to Lady Liberty

Letter To Lady Liberty

Dear America, I love you
But I'm afraid you've been unfaithful
Isn't this the land of the free?
All I see is despair and poverty
Your people need you, we aren’t well
I’m trying ring the liberty bell
There are mass shootings left and right
We are killing ourselves, Lady Liberty, ignite the light!
Our government is deeply corrupt
And here you offer Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump
It's like because justice is blind, you assume we are too
You don't even have a clue what it is your people need
We raise the cattle, we plant the seeds
You can't say I'm not a patriot, yes I am
I feel like I'm being molested by Uncle Sam
You are supposed to be the greatest superpower
Yet thousands here can't even shower
Soldiers have fought and died for you
But you make them do things they shouldn’t have to do!
We need you to realize what you're doing to us
Because I love my country
It's an issue of trust
My family's wellbeing is of no concern
I wonder if you'll ever learn
We are here trying to succeed
And here you give us what you think we need
Another politician ensnared by greed!
People getting guns with no business having them
And then you try to take from the ones who earned them
What has happened here is a prostitution
You walked all over our constitution
And now every time I see the flag
It makes me bow and shake my head
I can't believe what the nation has become these days
I'm sure the founding fathers roll over in their graves
None of us should have to fight for our rights
You take them away like a thief in the night
This is not acceptable
We are now a dancing spectacle
Putting on a show for the one percent
Life costs too much, we can't even pay our rent
And you let them sit and watch us cry
With gold plated dollar signs in their eyes
To top it all off, you're more concerned with other nations' wars
I'm really wondering what we are starving, homeless and hurting for
I'm starting to think that you’re America the Evil
And I'm sorry to say, but I think we should see other people
