The End

We tend not to bend
Not to upend the trend
We fail to mend or befriend
No helping hand to lend
Our hearts never opened
No good will do we send 
On us they can't depend
To hell we all descend
Refusing to be a friend
Actions we can not defend
As we journey to life's end
Is this really how we end

You can hide and pretend
That this is not the end
The truth we no longer defend
On America no one can depend

We should be at our best
But there's so much hate and unrest
So much the rest do detest
As we clutch at our breast
Failing to welcome the guest
We are failing the real test
Determined to feather our own nest
All eyes look to the West
Once willing to invest
Only to find its all in jest
Our leadership they would request
Now we've become just a pest

You can hide and pretend 
That this is not the end
The truth we no longer defend
On America no one can depend

The world's greatest super power
Has seen its finest hour
An empire in decline despite the clear loud warning sign

We can hope we can pray
That we get another day
A chance to heal mend and care
To establish a world thats equal and fair 

We tend not to bend
Not to upend the trend
We fail to mend or befriend
No helping hand to lend
Our hearts never opened
No good will do we send 
On us they can't depend
To hell we all descend
Refusing to be a friend
Actions we can not defend
As we journey to life's end
Is this really how we end

Its true we are on a downward slope
But we all must stay strong and cling to hope

We should be at our best
But there's so much hate and unrest
So much the rest do detest
As we clutch at our breast
Failing to welcome the guest
We are failing the real test
Determined to feather our own nest
All eyes look to the West
Once willing to invest
Only to find its all in jest
Our leadership they would request
Now we've become just a pest

You can hide and pretend 
That this is not the end
The truth we no longer defend
On America no one can depend
