"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition!"- Marilyn Monroe


The land of the free. That’s what we shall be!
A clever idea, but nobody bothers,
Listening to our founding fathers.
Untrusted in your space.
You sometimes hate this place.
Give me liberty, or give me death,
No in between for me.
I am American, and American I shall be.
Free but with a price,
Doesn’t matter if you’re nice.
Expected to follow each little rule
We aren’t human, we’re their mule!
Ready or not,
They’re listening. Hoping to get you caught.
Impeding your rights
Yet nobody puts up a fight.
Give me liberty, or give me death,
I am American, and American I shall be.
Until the government sets me free,
I will continue to speak for me.
No warrants needed! Ill let you listen!
And you’ll see what you aren’t missing!
