THE LAND OF THE FREE
America,
Says our national anthem,
Is "the land of the free."
So far as I can see
America is
A conquered province,
An occupied country,
An internment camp.
Schools and universities,
Museums, cultural centers,
And websites
Have been conquered
And cleansed of "unpatriotic" views.
Troops occupy our Capitol.
Masked men grab people
Off the streets
And intern them
In Gator Gulags.
Visitors applying for visas
To visit the land of the free
Are scrutinized
For their "un-American attitudes."
What is "un-American" in
A conquered province,
An occupied country,
An internment camp?
To remember that
America was once
The land of the free?
