My first post...

Ferris wheels and dandelions.
I didn’t say you never crossed my mind.
Curtain falls before the final scene.
America, are you a dream?

Turn off the television
(It) fills your mind with indecision
About what is wrong and what is right.
Liar, Liar! Pants on fire!
Guns will shoot the ratings higher.
Toilet paper cannot wipe your mind.

Color blind only see faces.
A fragile mind only sees races.

The 60s are here again.
Peace and love did not win.
Hippies are on Wall Street selling time
so their kids can have a better life.

Have you been to America?
Have you ever seen her skies?
(or) heard the Star-Spangled Banner
through the tears of a grown man’s eyes
falling on waves of amber grain
wilting in the rain
waiting for the sun to receive a pardon?

Color blind only see faces.
A fragile mind only sees races.

Jesus did not die for this.
Muhammad did not kill for bliss.
Are the educated really wise?
One man’s truth is another’s pack of lies.
