USA THE GREAT
In school
We learned
The United States
Was great
But so many things
We were not told
No one spoke of
The treatment
Of the native people
No one spoke of
Corruption
Of political leaders
No one spoke
Of the treatment
Of people of color
No one spoke
Of the treatment
Of Mexican people
Of women
Of children
Of animals
Was it all kept
In a dark closet
Only communicated
In whispers
So we could
Pat our chests
And talk about
How great we are
If we were ever great
Today it is hard to find
