the proud and the brave

(A poem)

America

we thought we were invincible

how could we have imagined

everything we touched we would lose

America

we thought we were invisible

it’s not the way we planned

it all went wrong somehow

Everything we once had is gone

did we have it all along?

the sunshine always seems to fade

when you let your umbrella down

just when you thought you’d given up

you’ve just about had enough

and then the sun comes out again

Why have they foresaken us?

all of our dreams aare now only dust

along with memories that faded long ago

the future they thought they had saved

wasted away

the future becomes the past someday

(why don’t you come out and play?)
