America the Great
by õ!ô~*`Bryce Dressler`*~ô!õ

The united states of America
is just one of a kind.
Where everyone is stereotypical
and looks come before the mind.

People living in the streets
eating out of trash cans.
Rushing into another war
without a shred of a plan.

To serve and protect
America the beautiful.
Behind the brave eyes of soldiers
is a family so fearful.

"Red white and blue to the death"
is an American soldiers pledge.
Yet our country so heartless and cruel
pushes them over the edge.

A country where a vice president
can get a pardon or pass
for shooting someone in the face
because it looked like a ducks ass.

We look down upon drugs
cocaine, marijuana, and so on said.
Yet rather than electing a war veteran
we elect a crackhead instead.

Then we elect him again
for another four years
after he took us into a war unnecessary
and drove families to tears.

A country where kids are lost
because of domestic abuse,
parents ignoring their problems
of alcohol and drug overuse.

How can you be so proud
of a country thats feared
that has driven other countries into the ground
over the last ten to twelve years.

People being shot again and again
in this country America the great.
And after all is said and done
the criminal gets to recriminate.

God bless the day
when we can finally see
the stupidity and foolishness
that we don't see on TV

America the great
or so it is called.
Our foolishness and stupidity
shall be our downfall.
