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.
