Lies of American Fairy tale

   Land of the Free, home of the Brave, that`s at least what they all say.

Living in this country has taught me it's more of Land of the Fools, home of the Forgotten.

We reside in a country where the men and women, put their lives on the line for us just to betray them.

 They say America is great, but that`s a false statement.

For we American seem to value everything above a life of a fellow human who showed bravery when we couldn`t.

 

    Help thy neighbor was once a dominant trait of America, when we were first founded.

But since then we hear words of vile intent and a vile past, words such as:nigger, wop, gringo, wetback ect.

These words are used by ones of the race as well as those not of.

To betray and belittle them self and other Americans who may or may not share the same title.

 

This is a country I can't stand by, with titles to great for us to live us to.

But I will stand for us as long as we live for the country and no longer for ourselves.
