This Is My Jerusalem

This Is My JerusalemLand of the free-ish,home of the brave soul who emigrates to find out dreams are only valid if you come from the right placeHer wailing wall extends into the western seaTear streaked by families held apart by chain linked fencesQuarters segregated like the old city,faith and skintone are her boundariesMy country tis of thee,sweet land of ironyIt's of thee I singRaising banners of blessed faith to control the masses when convenientWhat you use as a shield will erode your covering like acidshowing who you are beneath the surfaceSuffice it to say your god's name is steeped in profanityMy people are in bondage to an unholy Empire who passes peace to take pieces of their God given libertyHer leaders cry out for water board baptisms and force fed communion for her enemiesPushing work far more deadly than the drugs they pretend to wage war onBecause war is about powerAnd Power is at the root of her addictionSo she start conflicts at home and abroad to get her fix and shake that monkey off her backFrom sea to shining sea, she is a beauty dying from the cancer that is greed and the injustice it promotesAnd we,those within her boundaries,smell the stench of her decayI see her corruption and yet my heart beats for herAnd as love requiresI will stand in the spirit asking for mercy on her behalfDress me in sackclothAnoint my head with ashesSit me at Her gates so I can weepand mournthen prayFor this is my Jerusalem
