My Country Tis
"My country tis of thee",
was pounding in her head...
she knew all the *seems*
were constanty fraying
on the edge of the edge...
how could she not? page
after page of history
wrapped tight around
her form and substance,
crescendos of afterthought
are weapons denied
are still weapons applied
America is a drowning pool
gagged and going blind
home is still where the heart is.
My country tis of thee.
was pounding in her head...
she knew all the *seems*
were constanty fraying
on the edge of the edge...
how could she not? page
after page of history
wrapped tight around
her form and substance,
crescendos of afterthought
are weapons denied
are still weapons applied
America is a drowning pool
gagged and going blind
home is still where the heart is.
My country tis of thee.
