Allowing hatred, while robbing the poor
Making up wars while closing the door
Everything in abundance, but only for the rich
Regressing into xenophobic politics
Including racists and backwards men in government
Creating a fascist state and electing rich men
Allowing all religions, but only if they say “Amen”
A country, deluged in wealth,
not caring for their citizens health,
fighting wars on foreign soil,
only for the reason of getting oil,
a government, wicked and corrupt,
just begging for the citizens to rise up.
A nation, divided by hate,
we must band together before it is too late.
Workers, Poor and Mistreated,
our lives and livelihoods impeded.
Men and women, of all different races,
restricted and banned from even going to places.
So what shall we do? What is there to be done?
These true words herald a rising sun.
Workers, broken and tired, we have a place you can be hired.
Free from tyranny, free from hate,
where all food will be on your plate!
Rise to action, workers of the world!
Bring to fruition the ideals of your vision!
Equality, Freedom, Brotherhood and more,
we the workers shall settle the score!
Never 3/5ths, always a man,
we shall bring the light back to this land.
-Charles Hamback, Age 17
