people say two wrongs don’t make a right,
if that is true, then why does america support
bush in his campaigns of slaughter in iraq and afghanistan?
people say america is the land of the free and the home of the brave,
if that is so, then why are we arrested for defending ourselves?
if so, then why does america hide behind the barrel of a gun?
people say that there is no safer place to live than america,
if that is true, then why do most americans fear walking the streets at night?
if that is true, why are the world’s most famous killers from america?
people say that clinton was the worst president america ever had,
if so, why only blame clinton for adultery?
if that is so, what about j.f.k. or the affairs of not-so-honest abe?
people say america is always doing the right thing,
if that is so, why did we drop “the bomb” on innocent civilians?
If that is true, why does america refuse to let other countries govern themselves?
people say that september eleventh, 2001, was a travesty,
if so, doesn’t america deserve some credit for 9/11?
if so, what about hiroshima, or nagasaki?
when will people see that america is not perfect?
when will people realize america is just as bad as those it judges?
when america sees that it has it’s faults,
i think it will evolve into what america has been said to be,
a land of justice and peace.
