(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?)
