How can this be? <br />From sea to shining sea. <br />Across the fields of amber waves of grain. <br />We as a people is still not free. <br /> <br />We hail from Kings and Queens. <br />But we are treated like pawns on the game of life board. <br />I ask myself and the world. <br />How can that be? <br />We too stood guard at the gates of freedom. <br />We too gave our blood, sweat, and tears. <br />To help keep Lady Liberty torch shining bright. <br /> <br />How can this be? <br />That we do not share the same vision as other in America.<br /><br />jackie compton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-can-this-be-2/
