Do you think they all lie And not tell us the truth Making me want to cry You must be a sleuth
To figure out the falsehoods Because they all tell them Ruining our neighborhoods Thinking we are dumb
Immigration
Too many immigrants are not good Especially when we have laws We have known since childhood But it supports their cause
Build a wall And enforce the statutes Construct welcoming halls And perform interviews
Teach them English And United States history What skills do they distinguish And they will not be a mystery
Who are these people Why do they come free Make them townspeople So we welcome them with glee . Poor
Too many impoverished and poor Not earning enough to live Live in grandeur Or even to thrive
Why Why can they not make a living Where they can be healthy and spry Is it our fault for giving
And not making them earn with grit But there should be a safety net But not permanent dependence Where they act like a house pet
Giving too much And not making them earn it We gave many a crutch With too much dependance
Healthcare
People deserve healthcare Which does not make them broke But I must swear It is just a big joke
Redo the healthcare borders Allowing it throughout the nation Not prescribed to regional areas or orders Or to a persons credit station
Putting people in debt So they can be healed Is a poor bet Leading to the paupers field
Every problem can be fixed If people want them fixed Do politicians want them fixed Or do they want bank accounts fixed
Lobbyist protecting their turf Paying out gigantic sums While we all burst Fighting over the crumbs
Everyday people are left with poor choices And listening to politicians is a waste Because they do not listen to our voices Leaving me with a bad taste
Oligarchy
A Republic
A Democracy
An Oligarchy
An Aristocracy
What are we
Who runs us
Are we free
What is the fuss
I can tell you
A government ran by a few
We should be bitter and blue
But who understood and knew
We live our lives
Enjoying it all
And our kids and wives
As long as we play ball
Everything is fine
Until you ask real questions
And lights will shine
On the underlying tensions
Small groups control
Our economy and government
Remember the grassy knoll
And all the other uppercuts
These groups are self seeking
And they are underhanded
Lying when they are speaking
Stealing all they have demanded
This is the rule of the elite
The rule of the nobility
The rule of cronyism
And the rule of nepotism
A leadership class rules
Stealing everything
Thinking we are fools
Accepting their sting
Sting of war
Sting of economic disaster
Sting of epidemic
Sting of climate crisis
The same people rule our country
And is it better or worse
Neither are we hungry
Nor are resources scarce
But for many they are both
There are riots in the streets
Crime and murder that we loath
Brough to you by the cheats
Mark my words
It is too late
They will reduce us by thirds
And that is our fate
Happy Birthday
To our great nation
It takes my breath away
Both resolute and duration
As a republic for the masses
We have tried to represent
Without stations and classes
The founders intent
A grand gamble
To make people free
A strong preamble
For the world to see
We were the first
Many have followed
An unquenchable thirst
But it can be hard to swallow
There are outrages
Staring us in the face
From our history pages
What a disgrace
Keeping people in chains
A terrible slight
Killing the Indians on the plains
A horrendous blight
Holding women back
Not allowing them rights
Abortion kills millions of blacks
And millions of whites
But is this all
There is to the United States
To miss our call
And what separates
Separates us from oppression
One person with absolute rule
Fascism and communism aggression
And others of the tyrant pool
Our ability to change and flex
And to remember distinctly
Through our constitutional checks
Stating a truth succinctly
We are in control
The people can altar
Through the voting poll
When our leaders falter
Voting is the right
That keeps us strong
So we must fight
To carry this tradition along
Traditions of our glorious past
Maybe with a few flaws
But we need to hold steadfast
To our great cause
To make people unbound
From whatever oppresses
Let us articulate and astound
What our history expresses
We lead the world
In reducing oppression
Our flag is unfurled
To fight these transgressions
Transgressions of injustice
Transgressions of poverty
Transgressions of race
Transgressions of hate
We push to correct wrongs
Not always timely and correct
But sing our proud songs
And fix what is not perfect
Stand upright and proud
Fly our flag high
Sing our praises out loud
We are not the bad guy
But democratic patriots
Believing in individual liberties
Spreading a brilliant radiance
And the endless possibilities
Possibilities of prosperity
Throughout the earth
Seeking a shared destiny
For everyone from birth
Democracy is not a dream
Freedoms advance
With our grand theme
Join in the dance
Celebrate our championships
Proclaim our glories
Cherish our relationships
And tell our remarkable story
