When Will Freedom Ring

Oh Land of the Free,
where is your freedom?
For the men 

mining your glittering engagement rings
For the women 
stripped bare, forced to put on a show for your darkened computer screens
For the children
whose torn fingers, beaten backs and sleepless eyes 
harvest your bloody coffee at the expense of their lives
For the innocents, 
brutally torn in the name of convenience
before they are born

Sweet Home of the Brave, 
where are your brave ones?
Willing to expose corruption
Willing to fight oppression
Willing to rescue your slave sons 
and restore your damaged daughters
Willing to battle for the unborn
Willing to say to injustice,
"NO MORE."


HERE are your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. 
Oh America, 
WHEN
will you truly believe in Liberty?
