just something i did for english class

[diana1493]

America, where you the one,

Who robbed me of all sanity?

Without question it was you.

Give it back, won’t you please?



I have paid my dues to you.

fought wars that were not mine to fight.

Lost brothers who weren’t mine to lose

I shed tears that had no place to fall.



For nights I thought it out

Laid every situation out

I’m left with one last answer:

Government’s the enemy

Authority is out to destroy me



Foreign men lined all across

armed and aiming to kill

if happiness is a warm gun

yours didn’t fit the bill



I see you man in uniform,

Never seen such a fine dressed criminal

I see that arm at your side

The one I’d hoped I’d never find

In my path again

And I have no choice left



You don’t deserve such perks

Apple pie with coffee

Free of cost, I’m sure

I’m sorry to interrupt you so late

But justice must be served



Take this silver bullet,

Right in the center

of your government funded skull.

You’ll feel a new feeling

Unfamiliar to you I’m sure

It’s a feeling reserved for soldiers

And the destitute men you ignore

Never noble men like you



Months from now,

I will rise in the court of the government

The government you so altruistically served

And plead mentally insane.

But the jury will find me guilty,

And put my meager soul to death
