we are a nation on. our knees i stand spread open i am ready to be crucified nail me to your cross splintered trailer park boards because in god we trust standing on the lee ward side father, friend, foe, driving each nail in my blood runs tracks like tears across my face my finger with not push you death (unwilling) i have died a nation has fainted.
