Trees

November 19, 2024

Trees don’t care who’s President,

They just want to live another day

to reach up toward the Sun.

So do people.

I cry for you, America

November 12, 2024

I cry for you, America,

home of the brave, land of the free,

I cry for you, America,

it is of thee that I sing,

O beautiful, for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain,

Our National Parks will be ripped apart,

there is money to be made.

We are a nation of immigrants,

have we forgotten on whose land we stand?

Our forefathers took land from others

who were here, before we were,

still others came in slavery

to build our economy,

their backs were broken in southern fields,

their children sold away,

so this is not the first time

people have suffered in your name,

America, home of the brave,

the world’s icon for liberty,

America, I weep for a nation

still blind to your own cruelty.
