When a parental hug can no longer quench your tears
And you see the world for what it truly is.
Where children die from starvation and obesity
and grandparents are banished to second-rate solitary living.
They hand you hypocrasy with your diploma
and tell you to be on your way.
Another name to be forgotten, another face to fade away.
Society discards those who fight independence.
Land of the Free. Home of the Brave.
