Once Upon A Time in America

I remember once upon a time in America
We stood pledging allegiance to our flag
This always brought a lump to my throat
We were the best was not just a brag.

But that feeling is being lost to us
We are letting it all silently slip away
We've taken our blessings for granted
Not realizing sooner or later we'd pay.

Our politicians are stealing the lifestyle
We all thought was an absolute right
We now try desperately to hold on to
The things we are losing overnight.

The greed of many has broken others
Their jobs and their homes being lost
We can't blame someone else I fear
When our own indifference is the cost.

I hope we will all take it more serious
When election day again comes around
Take the time to know the candidates
Support the issues that are truely sound

They can't take our freedoms from us
Or make slaves and paupers of us all
Unless we give them the right to do it
By not fighting and losing it by default.
