Injustice Done
#2112159 by Chris Breva Author IconMail Icon


What gave us the right to steal America
For that is exactly what we did
We would go out and conquer others
Then go to church and brag how good we were
Do we believe for one minute God was pleased?

Then the land we stole was tilled by forced labor
Again what gave us that right
Millionaires made on the backs of others
And we do so to this very day
Land of opportunity it was indeed
Opportunity to steal and destroy other lives
A shameful past is what it truly was
From which we learned not a thing.
