Analysis of Can't Undo America!
Can’t Undo America
By Chris Commodore©2007
In liberty and freedom
A homeland pledged to God
One nation indivisible
Can’t undo America
Undaunted armies resolute
Marines and Navies true
Air forces span her spacious skies
Can’t undo America
In hidden nooks and crannies
Attired like old grannies
Explosives in your running shoes
Can’t undo America
Adorned with menacing headbands
Cross burners draped in sheets
Vile cowards, terrorizing clans
Can’t undo America
Home-grown nor foreign terrorists
Nor sadomasochists
Regardless of your bombing plans
Can’t undo America
