GOODBYE AMERICA

GOODBYE AMERICA [Ode to a Future Fallen Nation]
©2020 John Bennett

Goodbye America I hate to see you go
You're not the same country that I used to know
Well…Goodbye America I’ve loved you so
You once were the world's last best hope

You've been looted and burned and they call it protest
Resistance, obstruction and disobedience
Far from being peaceful riots own the streets
In black uniforms and helmets throwing bottles at police

Good was called evil and evil was called good
On college campuses free speech was booed
Correctness and censorship of all opposing views
Division grew deeper as intolerance grew

We watched and did nothing as foundations crashed down
Losing our liberty as it’s pulled to the ground
Some dismissed all the warnings and never bothered to vote
The nation's demise was a long slippery slope

They rewrote our history and put it all down books
There was nothing to be proud of not much was good
Indoctrinated so they’d vote just one way
New mob mentality is given free reign

Class warfare deeper grew the divide
We drank all the kool-aid committed national suicide
Death to America you were dealt the final blow
The last nail in the coffin began long ago

I never thought it could all happen here
But we threw it away our freedom disappeared
I guess we got everything we had asked for
Civil destruction plunged into war

So..Goodbye America I hate to see you go
You're not the same country that I used to know
Well Goodbye America I’ve loved you so
You once were the world's last best hope------
