The Looking Glass Volume 39 | Seite 21

My America further journeys with the sound of a grumble.

Grumble

Goes greedy corporations that cheat their way to victory.

Grumble

Goes the beast that never seems satisfied until he is the only one full

Grumble

Goes the sound of a mob craving for violence and blood. 

Grumble

Goes the empty stomachs of children.

Grumble

Goes the hunger for peace. 

Yet, My America has not given up.

My America has awakened

Awakened at the crack of dawn to seek new opportunity

To the bang of a marching band

To the grumble coming from the desire for change. 

Positive change.

My America 

My America has also fought for what’s right

My America has torn down the dusty curtains to let the sun beam through. 

My America has created light.

While others wait for the sun to go down

We work until we see the sun come back.

A new dawn has arrived.

I stand with an excited feeling in my heart

Eagerly anticipating when I can put my hand on my heart

And say I pledge allegiance to

My America.
