When America would shed Her Tears
By carl coglianese
There had come a time
That even America would shed an outrageous amount of tears.
See, for here in America, things like this could never happen.
Simple truth is we thought no one could touch us.
How could this happen in America?
How could something like this happen here?
For so long we thought we were the strongest,
For so very long we did not live in fear.
We have been guilty of such arrogance for a long time
I mean after all. We never experienced a world war on American soil.
Home of the brave, home of the free.
I guess it is true there is ignorance in arrogance
so it has been said, so it seems true
Things like this are not suppose to happen here in America
How many times have I herd this as of late?
I have never seen such confusion, such hopelessness.
Never before seen on a nations face.
In the distance I can hear children crying
I can not see what direction, for the skies have been blacken by smoke, city streets littered with debris. Dogs barking and earth tremors rising, carrying with them bodies of those newly deceased.
It was not suppose to happen like this.
No, I cannot except it even thought I am witnessing it before my eyes.
Our boarders, breached, bringing in all kinds of death and treasons
The once American dream has become the American death cry.
This was not suppose to happen here in America
Land of the free, home of the brave.
How could it have all fallen apart in such a short time
How could have wormwood had fallen undetected.
Why indeed did this become our nations final fate.
There is nothing left
As I walk through what had once been a beautiful family neighborhood
What I see now is a war zone littered with debris of shattered bodies
There is no help coming, we can no longer deceive ourselves
All that is coming is the clouds of death and desperation
For all that we as Americans once knew, once took for granted
It’s all gone, Dear God it is all gone.
I raise my hand to the ski, Tighten it into a mighty fist and cry out loud
Why God, why did you forsake America? I Cry, Why
I wait for the answer
Will it come in a mighty sound, will the heavens shake it aloud?
I hear a voice in the distant rubble cry.
It was not God who forsake America the voice cried quite bold and aloud
It was us, yes we Americans that had forsaken Him
There stood a figure, quite tall and dirty, full of dust, debris
Having been through somewhat a tragic bit of trauma it looked like to be.
I had seen it all coming, I had warned them since the start.
When they took down the Ten Commandments and tore down the Cross.
It all happened slowly, all in plain view.
God was being taken out of our daily life, in subtle ways it’s true.
God was being forgotten, No one seemed to have a clue.
God Bless America could not be said any more, nor God Bless you.
It is almost funny, but in the scary way this is true
When the government took away paper money. IN God We Trust
Became illegal, as well as to display the American flag in public was to.
When Wormwood hit us, the American Dream ended, then Russia invaded us too.
How could something like this happen here in America?
The question remains, could something like this ever become true?
