I Cannot Hear America Singing<\/p>\n
Freedom marches and Equality Hymns banned from performance halls,
\nThose of women, each one singing their choice, denied by fundamentalism,
\nThe gay American singing his, silenced by hate
\nThe poor American singing theirs, gagged by the rich,
\nThe black American singing hers, muffled by history,
\nEach aching to sing their hopes and dreams, nothing imposed on others,
\nAll longing to sing their strong melodious songs,
\nshut out this day by fear,
\nI cannot hear America singing
\nshe has gone silent<\/p>\n
Goodbye equal rights
\nGoodbye Choice
\nGoodbye fiscal responsibility
\nGoodbye Respect
\nGoodbye safety<\/p>\n
Goodbye America
\nI do not know you anymore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
