We Are American

We are American
With a long history
Of defiance and miscreant
We left England because of
Religious persecution,
We left Ireland
Because of hunger
We left Africa
Because of bondage
We left Germany to fight
The Rebels with Cornwallis
We are Americans
Who demanded Independence
Over taxation
Without representation.
Just what are we to do
When our representatives
No longer
Represent us?
Are we to lay down
And accept bondage?
Or are we to stand on our hind feet
Like men?
