“Unrecognizable”

Bow down in prayer for this country while we hang our heads in shame
America the beautiful in song, but no longer in its claim
“Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” 1/

But a new torch no longer guides them to shore, but lights up our streets
In hatred for those seeking a better life for their own
A dream to one day call America their home
In hatred for those who dare criticize their fear mongering leader 2/

Emboldened to spout racism for they have never felt freer
I no longer recognize this country of ours, land of the free, home of the brave
As the same ones claiming patriotism malign a war hero in his grave
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, justice for all races
3/

But remain silent as they watch him put children in cages
Where the cries to build walls are loud and fearfully misguided
By a treasonous criminal, no exoneration, co-conspirator unindicted
But take a knee offends you? 4/

Their pseudo ride or die persona for that red, white and blue
Complicit in the treatment of others because we may not look, pray or love like you
But still claim Christianity…What would Jesus do?
America includes me too. All our brown brothers and sisters, black, white, LGBTQ 5/

They forgot what makes this country great are all those above
And refugees seeking asylum, but most importantly LOVE
Still proud to be an American, but embarrassed of the state it’s in
Hoping one day “Be Best” is exemplified in our leader so our healing will begin 6/

But we know his heart or lack thereof so uniting he will dismiss
So, because we love our country we must continue to RESIST.
