America the Broken
Split in two by the departure of truth
How can truth die
How can truth lie
By the drip, drip, drip
Of continuous slip
From the faucet of hate
And the lack of debate
How can we fail
Why do we flail
With the lack of concern
Of what we all learn
From our partisan news
Heart’s stone it hews
What is the cure
To return to what is pure
When truth takes it’s place
With the return of grace
Crack the stone inside
Let simple truth abide
Can we get back
To the future we lack
Only time will tell
If freedom’s bell
Will ring again
We the people can win
And heal the land with return of truth
