I Am the Truth

I am the lies they tell
I am the secrets you will never know
I am the false freedom
I am the media that deceives you
I am the broken economy
I am the rich man who wins
I am the poor man who loses
I am the greed
I am the people who are ignorant of their blessings
I am the vote that isn't heard
I am the people afraid to act
I am the poverty that consumes many, the fight they cannot win
I am the wars we cannot stop
I am the soldier that fights against lies
I am the drugs that mask the pain
I am the racism that persists
I am the uneducated child who wants to learn
I am the parents who aren't there
I am the intolerance of expression, the suppression of individualism
I am the inequality toward homosexuals
I am the corruption of government
I am the superpower afraid of its future
I am the flag that pretends
I am the United States of America
