America Revisited

 

My country was of thee.

Now with no liberty,

whose loss I sing.

Land where your freedom died

 Constitution aside

where HOAs reside,

profiteers bring.

 

Government by the few

Is Constitution through?

Sadly I cry.

My private property

is mine no longer free.

Accepted as it be,

freedom will die. 

 

Private contracts decide

writ by a few who hide.  

It cannot be.

Aristocrats control,

the people lost their soul

gave up their noble goal,

this do I see.

 

HOAs override

democracy they hide,

of this I sing.

Legislators  agree

no evil do they see.

From sea to shining sea,

let freedom ring.
