Allegiance

Allegiance

I am the land of the free.

This is my first confession.

I will confess, but not apologize

For two hundred years of oppression.

I am America.

I am hypocrisy.

I am intolerance.

I am the land of the free.

My creation, born from the blood of the Sioux,

My censorship of what is true,

My endorsement of money and greed;

My persecution continued once the slaves were freed.

I've killed so many, yet I say it's wrong to kill.

All are free, but slaves remain still.

I promote the right to privacy,

Yet I broadcast people's lives for all to see.
