Why Aren't We?

 America, Land of the Free.

More like Land of the Confused,

Proud of being changing

But so scared to accept the new

Sure we have improved,

But what can we really say,

When all we see is fighting

And can't seem to save the day

History says we were strong,

Songs say we were brave,

But is all of that still true?

Can we say we're still the same?

America, Land of the Wonderers.

How can we heal all the pain,

And stop they way we speak

So harshly to ones who feel the same

We can't keep letting ourselves feel weak

All people are so needed

We should see that by now

But all we're really focused on,

Is blame, fame, and all the wrong how

So focus on Future, and focus on Fair

Because in world without either,

well, who'd wanna live there?

This one is an old one that turns a bit Dr. Seuss at the end.  Be nice she's sensitive.
