Analysis of Dream Of America
They come from the South,
and now the North to.
Fleeing their countries
To the Red, White, and Blue.
The dream of America
pushes them on.
Their Socialist countries
did them wrong.
The immigrants come
anyway they can.
By boat, by car,
and walking through all kinds of land.
They cross the Rio Grande River
to come to our shores.
But, the Darien Gap,
can be such a chore.
The cartels keep searching
for immigrants they'll take.
To rape, rob, and murder.
They care not for their fates.
If only they knew
that what they were running from;
A new Socialist America
will be what they are running to.
For it won't be long
if Democrats get their way.
Before no one is safe
and the dream of America
will soon die away.
