TURNING IN THE GRAVES

 TURNING IN THE GRAVES

 

FAMILY ALL MOST HAVE

THE FAMILIES THAT CREATE NEW FAMILIES

WITH NO THOUGHT PROCESS

 

WE’VE BECOME THE ANIMALS

WE HUNT EACH OTHER OUT

LOOKING FOR WHAT EVER WE CAN TAKE

FROM THE OTHERS

 

YET MOST ANIMALS DON’T WORRY

MOST ANIMALS DON’T CARE ABOUT A DOLLAR

MOST ANIMALS DON’T PAY A PENNY

OR A DOLLAR

THEY JUST BECOME FAMILIES

FOR A VERY SHORT TIME

 

SO WHO ARE THE REAL ANIMALS

WE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANIMALS

AND SOME DO HAVE FAMILIES

AS SOME DO NOT

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE GOT

 

BUT, WE ARE AMERICA

WE ARE THE FREE

WE ARE WHAT OUR FOR-FATHERS

WE ARE WHAT OUR FOR-MOTHERS

BELIEVED

 

WE STRUGGLE MORE NOW

THAN THOSE THAT DIED, BEFORE US

WE LIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR DREAMS

WE DREAM BECAUSE OF THEIR DREAMS

WE TRY TO BELIEVE

 

YES WE ARE AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

BECAUSE OF THE GOOD THAT WAS DONE

WE HAVE PROVEN MANY THINGS

WE ARE THE PEOPLE

LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THOSE GRAVES

WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT PAVES THE WAY

ALTHOUGH SOME ROADS ARE WON

SOMETIMES THERE ARE TOO MANY ROADS

 

 

YES WE ARE THE PEOPLE

WITH SO MUCH TO CHANGE

WITH SO MUCH TO CREATE

WITH MORE OF A RANGE

ALL IN A FAMILY

LIKE THE PEOPLE BEFORE US

WE HAVE A DREAM

 

THE MATTER OF THE FACT

IS THE MATTER OF THE TRUTH

AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

IS

THOSE TURNING IN THE GRAVES

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
