America the Beautiful? Empty
PostSubject: America the Beautiful?   America the Beautiful? EmptySat Aug 27, 2011 7:49 am

O beautiful, for spacious skies,
That industry fills with smoke and dust.
Polluting the sky, making acid rain,
Causing things below to rust.
For amber waves of grain,
Through which commercial business carves.
To put in malls and outlet stores,
While an innocent child starves.
For purple mountains majesty,
That is dwarfed by political corruption.
The people in office come and they go,
But the lying has no interruption.
Above the fruited plains,
Where criminals manufacture meth.
The heart of the country has been infected,
With disease, addiction, and death.
America, America, God shed His grace on thee,
But some want 'In God We Trust' off our money.
When the world collapses and there is only God,
Our future's don't look very sunny.
And crown thy good, with brotherhood,
Seems impossible while racism is alive and well.
The damage it causes to the young generation,
Is something only time will tell.
From sea to shining sea,
Is a country that doesn't deserve.
To have thousands of our soldiers die,
So our freedom will be preserved...

As sad as it is this piece is filled with so much truth it makes me sick, I love my country with all that I am but too many people are ruining it.... and the biggest of all those flaws is wanting God out... without Him we are all doomed.
You did a great job with bringing to light in this piece a lot that's happening, great job.

All I can say is, G-d Bless America. If only we could turn back to the cross...
