Come On People??

Come on, all you people
Be you, rich or poor
Just stop, and take a minute
To think, what you stand for?

Are we the Land of Freedom?
Of, Sisters and Brothers?
Do we care only ‘bout ourselves
Instead of all those others?

We used to stand together
Shoulders together, hand in hand
We knew we were the Greatest
Because, we took a Stand.

But now, we stand apart
And watch, with leery eye
We won’t/don’t trust anybody
And, nobody asks, “Why?”

We’re lost, if we don’t come together
Before, we’re who we used to be
We can’t be, the second best
Or else we can’t be Free.

Quit watching Fox and CNN
“They” all died for that Choice
So each and every one of us
Could speak, with our OWN Voice.

We can’t let them lead us
They aren’t some superstar
We must each, speak our Voice
And, tell them who, WE are.
