In Our Country
We have made this nation
All different children women and men
Troubles part of its flirtations
Again and again
Why is the Civil War forgotten
Every time there is a trouble
A time in our history most rotten
Part of the country left in rubble
Recall the horrors of slavery
Families held against their will
And remember the bravery
Of those who fought to kill
618 thousand soldiers died
Or 6 million today
Many families cried
As their loved ones decayed
The country fought
Freedom for all
As we were taught
Please please recall
Protest today
Destroy and loot
Riot away
Most will stand moot
They let you forget
Families who paid
The blood of each vet
Long ago mislaid
Families lost loved ones
To protect our United States
Using their guns
To protect our fates
We can improve
But not with looting and shooting
Using education to make a gigantic move
Quit substituting and diluting
Substituting responsibility
And diluting our educations
Rebuild our countrys civility
And our countrys foundations
Remember the sacrifices
Of our countrys residents
Their blood suffices
Those sacrifices were no accidents
