Only in America

You people just don't get it
Of that, there is no doubt
So many dead and dying
Entire cities just wiped out.

This storm wrought devastation
And chaos in its wake
As heroes rushed in silently
With courage not to shake.

So write your spiteful satire
Analyze the aftermath like a game
Spinning tragedy into politics
Pointing fingers, laying blame.

There is no political party
That would not turn back time
To suggest otherwise is merely evidence
Of your cruel, uncaring crime.

So remember at the next election
When you are shaking your heads in doubt
We will not forget that you blamed America
And what this country is all about.

America is the land of opportunity
The pursuit of happiness for all
We protect and value our freedom
And help neighbors when they call.

A patriot is man or woman
Who waves their flag with pride
Defending our American way of life
Casting differences aside.

Storms may shake our foundations
Yet they will all hold strong
For the underpinnings of our society
Have been true so long.

There is no point to this debate
The damage has been done
What people need is a helping hand
With kindness in each one.

So forget the words of wisdom
They do no justice to the pain
The only voices that should be heard
From victims of this hurricane.
