THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (updated)
(Apologies and sincere thanks to Woody Guthrie)

This land is your land, and this land is my land,
Not for some shyster, with filthy rich sidemen,
No pseudo-Hitlers, revenge driven pride-men,
This land was made for you and me,
As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
A man elected, said "Only my way!"
No trans-persons, no immigration,
But this land was made for you and me,
I roamed and rambled, I've followed my footsteps,
Seen more of life, than that big orange dipshit,
Stupid and selfish, all he says shows it,
This land was made for you and me,
There was a big, high wall there that tried to stop me,
He had built it, of fear and fantasy,
Short-sighted, hard-hearted, clearly,
This land was made for you and me,
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling,
The way forward, in the wind was blowing,
Nose to the grindstone, stop him from growing,
This land was made for you and me,
This land is your land, and this land is my land,
Not for some shyster, with filthy rich sidemen,
No pseudo-Hitlers, revenge driven pride-men,
This land was made for you and me!

Been writing since I was 9 years old or so.
Can't help myself.
It's how I'm wired.
A multitude of verse.
"I may never learn to fly, but keep the sky above me open, just in case."
