Are You My America

Run run run

Where ?

Athens

The earth says

Yield

Stop

Stop running

Kissing feet

Bending low

Sobbing loud

Radiating sorrow

Pleading mercy
You are

You only You

Defending freedom

Are you my America ?

Is nonsense a disease ?

Are we candle brains ?

Plain cattle

Are you my friend cousin or wife ?

Trusting my government

And not me

Am I losing it ?

Yes I am

Yes I am

No I ain’t

No I ain’t

Life

Life is 

Illusions dreams

Sometimes lies

Was mama wrong?

My mama said

Good men don’t lie
