America

America is a bus of elderly women
Visiting their relatives in a nursing home

America is a UPS truck delivering free Bibles
To the poor of the world

America is an airplane of martial arts experts
Hoping for a replay of 9/11

America is tightening its belt
Doing Tai Chi
Getting fit to hold off jihad

America is a platoon of preschoolers on trikes
They fan out across the playground in military formation

America is not Amerika it's America
America is America is America
America is hopeful anxious serious
America is a public conveyance driven by Jesus
Armor-plated windows and puncture-proof tires
Secularists try to hijack it
But America is an immense armadillo
Filled with Hispanics, blacks, gringos
Men, and women and children
Some 85% believe in God
Collectively paying the toll to enter heaven
Faith and service

America is a taxi driven by a Pakistani with a cross hanging from his radio dial
America is Charlie Chan for Christ
America is a Greyhound Bus filled with the weeping widows of 9/11
Jesus what's the matter with this bus Jesus
Jesus if you need a rest I'll take the wheel!
