Does Patriotism echo from the
walls of America,
Is it in the blood of all our
citizens anymore,
Is it still practiced in this
country,
The land we used to adore…
Did it die with those who preserved
our freedom,
Our forefathers who went off
to war,
Is it still part of our feelings
for America,
Do we love this great country
anymore…
Politicians who run for office,
Don’t do it to protect and serve,
Just to line their pockets,
We never get what WE deserve…
It is sad to say our elected
officials,
Are not what they used to be,
We vote for the “lesser of two
evils,”
That’s NOT the way it should
be…
Why can’t we find the Lincolns
and Washingtons,
The men who built this country
to what it used to be,
Just to let the modern day officials
tear it down,
Anyone who knows; I’m sure would
agree…
Election campaigns have become
dirty,
And the mudslinging is running
wild,
Why can’t they tell people their
plan of action,
And not reveal dirty secrets
the opposition hides…
These secrets are insignificant,
Especially if they don’t affect
America at all,
All they do is embarrass and
create hatred,
And can make the good man fall…
