America Rise Up
America Rise UpAmerica Awaken, America Reunite
Feel the spirit of our reckoning
the undercurrent of the fight
Join into collaboration
Feel the power of adoration
For love is our only salvation
From a stinking pile of fabrication
Respect hearts and make adulation
For the price of calculation
Is the loss of our great nation
Might vs. right, conflict vs. clash
Impetuous are our leaders
Foolish and precarious, they wager the stash
Hasty in their dash for cash
sudden and unthinking
grabbing restless seething rash
Leaping without blinking
Foolhardy, arrogant and lazy we have been
Rise Up America, We Must Begin Again!
Having only sought power and command
With a so-called righteous stealthy hand
We now must take our fervent stand
We should be enraged and engaged
if we don’t take action, we’ll be forced into a cage
Domination, jurisdiction, hegemony and control
are tools of wicked liars aiming at the goal
We must stop this useless way of thinking that is old
Rise Up America, Do Not Do As You Are Told!
Act from your Heart with a fresh new start
That is as good as Gold.
-M. Jacobs
