Why We Call America

The Melting Pot

 
There once was a land 
so very far away
where my parents came from.
 
Why did they come?
Because...
America was... The Land of Opportunity!

Where dreams come true
and freedom rings
and where government did not control you.
 
Where you could pray to God...

 
The Mexicans...
The Chinese...
The Indians...
The Irish...
The Italians...
 
From South America...
From Asia...
From Europe...
From Africa...
From the Middle East...
 
A Place to Call Home
But the children didn't know
why their parents came...
 
But now the tears flow freely  
because these children 
want to live in a land 
where they are no longer free.

Well...  we will know sometime soon who we have voted in to lead America...  Will it be to a conservative way of living or a whole new world?  Do we want to become socialist?  If so, all true socialists should give up their wealth...  Or are you hypocrites?  Keeping your money for yourself?
