MY COUNTRY



     My great country,
           tis of thee,
       Sweet land of freedom
            and liberty.

          A land where our,
          Mothers cried.
          A land where our,
          Fathers died.

          A land we will
          Fight to protect.
          A land where we
          Choose who to elect.

    My great country,
          tis of thee,
    Sweet land of freedom
          and liberty.

     A land where a woman is
     Forced to have a baby.
     A land that has gone
     Stark ass crazy.

      A land where the supreme court
      Overturned abortions.
      A land full of inequality
      And misfortunes.

       My great country,
            tis of thee,
     Sweet land of freedom,
            and liberty.

     A land where a few white men
     Dictate the woman's body.
     A land where the sexual deviants,
     Are nasty and naughty.

     A land where our veterans
     Struggle.
     A land where the poor man
     Has to hustle.

   The Land in 2022 that forces
    Women to be pregnant.
    The land where a woman
    Is no longer independent.

    My great country,
        tis of thee
 Sweet land of freedom
        and liberty.
