To America Date: Thursday, 1st March 2007 @ 02:20:49 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: trueecho You can keep your Vegas Keep your age-defying make up and silicone Keep your rap and heavy metal Need I get pistol whipped a second time If I stand behind James Brown and say Black culture is not what it used to be Its a mirror of a mucked up white culture If we need an explanation But, why can't they be better? I'll save the California coast The duck billed platypus for originality The Statue of Liberty because I'm a patriot at heart And jazz music I can hear something a thousand times, Before I hear the essence of the note You can call this missing, due to a foggy windshield Then. Wham! The big picture comes All at once I should thank America for that too This poem is Copyright © trueecho Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
