God Bless America

God Bless America
God Bless the U.S.A
God Bless all the citizens
Unless they are gay

Unless they are a woman
Unless they want their rights
Their rights that were stripped
Even when we had to fight

When we had to fight to live
To survive and to breathe
Fight the urge to pack a bag
And be prepared to leave

To leave a country where we were born
To leave our families behind
Only to have some hope
Our lives won't be on the line

Women are forced to birth a child
A child conceived from rape
Who will be unloved and unwanted
While the rapist can escape

The rapist who's the father
Of this 11 year old girl
This girl who has seen the ways
The ways of this cruel world

Congratulations! The baby is born
A healthy baby boy
But the girl died in labor
So how does this bring joy?

How do people find joy
In killing little children
Who had a world to see
But will never sleep again

She will never sleep
Knowing her rapist is in the next room
Because who knows what he'll do
And put inside her womb

A womb not properly developed
And will cause problems up ahead
But that's totally fine
Because the fetus is not dead!

So, God Bless America
God Bless this land
except for the little girl
Who's solutions are now banned
