We fought for our freedom from  tyranny in 1776

We fought for equal rights, right down to the sticks

and yet oppression still remains

for the almighty dollar appears to reign

shops and businesses galore

once thriving, shut their doors

jobs are scarce

schools a mess

it is no wonder the country is in distress

People who desire to work cannot find jobs

those lucky few who do find work

are slave labor for slobs

Working for peanuts used to be fine

no health care, no food

no class refine

Small business loans for foreigners

no benefits unless of Indian descent

American Native, by government design

no where to call home, save the divine

Born on American Soil only partial generation

The only place I call home

is in degradation

As history repeats, and freedoms outlawed

the elderly are locked away because of flaws

No one has time to care for their own

and one by one

they become mere drones.
