Proud To Be An American
Im proud to be an American,
But Im not always proud of what we do.
Im not one to turn a deft ear,
Than rather hear whats true.
Im not proud of the violence,
That we see on the streets.
Or the fact that millions,
Dont have enough to eat.
Im not proud of the laws we pass,
Taking away Americans rights.
All in the name of the,
Homeland security fight.
Im not proud of having to take down,
The ten commandments from a public place.
Or the fact that hatred,
Still has to do with race.
Im not proud of our parents,
Who are no longer the role leaders of our youth.
We have children raising children,
To tell the truth.
Im not proud of the education system,
And its lack of government funding.
Where are our leaders?
What kind of state,
Are we running?
Im not proud that we have taken religion,
Out of our schools.
Without God in the lead,
Were like carpenters without tools.
