History In A Free Country Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

If you keep fueling a fire, more sparks you will see,
At any moment, an explosion could be,
What next a civil, or race war, our country will see,
Most tension created by, both political parties, today,
By fueling the media with stories, which they reword,
Then broadcast, creating more violence, in our society today
of all the rumors, the left and right release, the media plays,
Those that stir up fire, over and over, they repeat,
I was reading, congress released a story, the other day,
600 years ago, in 1419, slavery started in the U.S.A.
Why not correct today's errors, history is what happened,
It's over the past.
Today in schools children don't learn the basics,
writing or math, relying on computers,
How long will this society last.
Everyone monitored by chips in cell phones today,
Along with monthly fee's and taxes they pay,
Some past and modern history, A free country, The U.S.A.
