America - land of dreams
Lost dreams
People sleeping in their cars
In Walmart parking lots
Homeless shelters
In cities and towns everywhere
Elderly, their working days done
Being warehoused away
Citizens dying
Unable to afford medical care
Unable to protect our children
Who are being gunned down
Latchkey children
Allowed to roam
Both parents working
To provide a home
Mass murders
Common place
A new popular phrase
'Death by Drone'
Corona Virus sweeping the land,
Over half a million dead
Political unrest,
Our nation divided
Politicians and lawyers
Feathering their own nest
America, our beloved country,
What a mess
