I See

I see children dying from hunger and illness,

While criminals get free health care.

This is the country we live in.

I see murderers walking free and getting rich from it,

While good people can’t make ends meet.

This is the country we live in.

I see decent families living in the streets,

While child molesters walk them.

This is the country we live in.

I see Americans without freedom,

As criminals scream for their rights.

This is the country we live in.

I see uneducated people everywhere,

While inmates get free college educations.

This is the country we live in.

I see all good people living in fear,

From children to the elderly.

This is the country we live in.
