Somehow

The sad reality of the current USA

Somehow,

We are bifurcated

Supporters vs non-supporters

Those who rally and not

Haves and have nots split

further than ever

Somewhere along the line

Somehow

We've lost sight of what

it means to be American

One nation under God

What God?

Money?

Greed?

Superiority?

Manifest destiny?

Somehow

We've lost sight of the fact

That most of us weren't the first

Americans

Somehow

We need

To bridge some gaps

To see eye to eye

To come together as a nation

Somehow

*

God bless America

Before it implodes
