THE FUTURE OF OUR REPUBLIC

SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES:

If Obama had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin. If Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit. If Obama had a country, it would look like Cuba.

The Future of Our Republic

It's a damaged land of heartache now

Where Motown records made its name

Abandoned buildings where rats now prowl

And have made it their domain

Those who stayed are unemployed

It has become a way of life

They sit on crumbling porches

Reliving each day in strife

The gangs are armed and deadly

They own the neighborhoods

The streets at night unfriendly

The boundaries understood

Fat cat progressives have been in power

For more than fifty years

In champaign they could shower

Their concern so insincere

Once a thriving auto town

Detroit is now in decay

America will follow

If Obama has his way
