America Goes Fourth
The colony that became a Superpower,
the sparks that fly in the sky on this date
because of the tea dumped overboard
and the men that fought too often in war
Profited from foreign lands destruction
but never healing the wounds at home
that shackled slaves
and handcuffed their descendants
Crimes committed and ignored,
reports filed as Epstein smiled
children trafficked to his island
Justice really is blind, Black, White or just a child
How many crimes has Lady Justice turned a blind eye to?
as the nightly news focused on just a few
Are Rednecks shouting with blunderbusses
and Confederate flags, a representation of White America?
The star-spangled banner causes some to take a knee
and others to take a knee-jerk reaction
The world laughs at the Divided States but forgets the principles
that made America Great, Life, Liberty and Justice for all
Is Europe’s memory so small?
A rusty Lady Liberty stands tall and welcomes all
adopted from the old world, the shining beacon of the globe
This colony that became a Superpower, watched a Russian empire crumble twice
A German Kaiser defeated and a Reich bombed to oblivion
But Columbus is not welcome, no more, his wicked deeds will soon, become known
His part, lost at sea, looking for India and the people labeled Indians might disagree
But he deserves to be remembered, not whitewashed as the discoverer
but remembered for all that he did, the hands that he severed
as examples for kids to dig for more gold
La Niña, Piñta, and Santa Maria, ships no less important than
Columbia or a Falcon 9, American should move Fourth
Vegan or Hamburger dishes
Liberal or Deplorable voters
The colony that stood up to a king and abolished slavery
for Life, Liberty and Freedom for All should not end like this
