Our Country

Keep people away from their history Keep their past a forgotten mystery, Have them believe whatever their leader speak And have them told what to seek. Keep the poor and the needy underneath the thumb Keep the middle and the working class dumb, Tell them to be patriotic and stern and bold Then they will be easily controlled. Soon they will be told what they can read And what beliefs that they must all heed, And how they should live their life Also who can be their husband or their wife. Let's ban books and their beliefs, but not their guns Let's make heroes out of their rebellious fathers and sons, And let's support them when they overthrow their government And for that act of tyranny they must bring torment. Then they will stand for a leader Who nourishes the fallen with lies and who is a pleader, And he will stand against what a country freedom stood for Then all liberties will be then tossed out the door. Let this country be for the greedy and that wealthy Let other beliefs of everyone else be unhealthy, In the time of freedom let's quench all sparks As they stand with Karl Marx. Randy L. McClave
