AMERICA<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

09-01-2014<\/p>\n

You abort your unborn babies,
\nYour politicians act like thugs,
\nYou get drunk on strong booze,
\nAnd strung out on all your drugs.<\/p>\n

You drop bombs on other nations,
\nSo that you alone reign supreme,
\nThen you convince all your people,
\nIt’s for their American dream.<\/p>\n

Your heart has become so hardened,
\nYet you say “America, God bless”,
\nYou have become so deceived,
\nYou’re in one hell of a big mess.<\/p>\n

One man now “marries” another,
\nAnd each woman has her own “wife”,
\nYou legally force your sins on us,
\nAnd insist it’s a “normal” life.<\/p>\n

Your movies are filled with violence,
\nCussing is heard from shore to shore,
\nSex is constantly thrown in our faces,
\nI just can’t take your world anymore.<\/p>\n

Yet you say that God should bless you,
\nThat you are a favorite in His eye,
\nBut everything that you stand for,
\nHas become just a devilish lie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
