The American Dream(poem)
America America
The land of the brave
I love you so dearly
But they treat you so bad
The politicians and business men
Treat you like mad
What we once loved is suddenly fading
Our dreams won't come true
Our lives broken for you
We need to preserve the great nation
And turn it from bad
For you are our hope
And everything for we stand
by Gary R. Hess
