What happened to your face?
Look at your face.
The beautiful smile you once adorned
has been smeared,
stained with centuries of injustice,
tears.
Injustices that have long plagued
the human condition,
the fragile existence, like rock
to water, diminishes,
here one moment,
fallen and forgotten the next.
Who are you now?
Your beauty,
branded by pain,
suffers a nations debt,
other countries in line
to collect,
chained, shackled, a puppet,
lost is the American way,
mentally maimed, always afraid,
bound by broken hopes
scattered to the wind
un-united, falling as you stand
What happened to your face?
Look at your face!
The armor you once adorned
is torn, broken, rusted
from the low blows
of a once democratic, socialist turned government
Don't let it go, don't let this slide
now is the time,
to remember,
to react,
to rise,
An American!
