America redux

My country, ‘tis of thee

Land of diversity

For thee I weep;

Land where so many died

Of widespread genocide,

From every city side

Let us Justice reap.

My native country, thee,

Land of evil decree,

Thy name I call;

I call out all thy ills,

Thy vile and wretched bills,

My heart with anguish chills

As bodies fall

Let Justice swell the breeze

And ring from sea to sea

Oppression’s cease;

Let every tongue proclaim

Atonement is the aim

Our hearts burst into flame

We insist on peace.

Let us stand and agree

Together is the key

Begin anew.

Long may our voices leap

Unity to upkeep

May we no longer walk in sleep

Now our dream pursue.

Next
