I'm so ashamed of myself.
Of my people, and the way those in charge take care of them.
I'm ashamed of the way we handle what are supposed to be peaceful international affairs.
I'm tired of the way our public servants waltz around,
Becoming a gestapo. And I'm sorry to see we are becoming a fascist nation.
And I know that those of you who have already fallen,
Those who have never realized that they have a mind,
Those reading this who falsely believe they have served me;
You scoff at me as you read this.
You think to yourself that I must hate this beautiful country we live in,
Because that is the only explanation as to why anyone would think these things;
Why anyone would think for themselves.
Let me introduce myself.
I AM AMERICA.
I AM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE FOREFATHERS, THE SETTLERS, THE PROMISED LAND.
Sufficed to say, things weren't right from the beginning.
But our supposed freedoms are gone, and no longer are we a symbol of hope.
And I am guilty of what the blind see as a crime.
I smile when I see a flag flown upside-down,
Because something IS wrong here, and we DO need immediate assistance.
If you know me, you know I reside in the red, white, and blue.
But for now, I think I'm going to go somewhere else.
If you want to find freedom, don't look for me in the stars and stripes.
I will stay within those three colors;
You can still find me in France, England, or a myriad of other places;
But you must educate yourself to find me.
So until things clear up at home, you must look for me elsewhere.
I AM AMERICA.
I AM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE FOREFATHERS, THE SETTLERS, THE PROMISED LAND.
I AM FREEDOM. I AM PEACE.
