Not A Single Person Owns America

You don't own the FBI and its agents While you are president America belongs to its citizens You don't own the CIA and its agents While you are president America belongs to its inhabitants. What you should own Are the love, honor, honesty and pride For America. America is not on loan America is to be loved, not to be lied To from sunset to sunrise From the last Angelus bell to the early rise Of the birds. Stop lying to America. Let's embrace unity, opportunity and diversity Turn America into a panacea Let's respect and greet each other daily. Love America and protect America From violence and deadly Corona Turn America into a paradise of freedom Make America fun, smart, equal and prosperous Let's build a united country, a divine Kingdom. Racism is deadly, repugnant and contagious Stop police brutality, cruelty and rudeness Love your brothers and humanness Love your sisters and show kindness If you do, you'll be honored and blessed. Hate is too rough and heavy to be carried Around the blocks of history for so long. For America, let's sing a joyous and patriotic song Against racism and against bigotry Let's sing for life, love, peace and liberty.
