Don't change the name!

This isn't a game

Some stupid people are to blame

For stirring up people, as that was their aim

Just think, if we changed a name because someone got hurt

Many of our states would have to change, because of that blurt

Many of our names, were taken from elsewhere

In the hopes that we'd honor, names that we share

We use the names in honor, in all that we do

We take pride in each nationality, with all we've been through

They've become a part of us, in the lives that we are living

Don't take away the names, that to us once were given

My nickname is Bud, which refers to a potato or a rose

If you take away the names, then anything goes

I think it's wise, to keep things as they are

We've been happy and content with them, so far

When you think of changing a name, use wisdom here

We'd start and never end, to many things we hold dear

Just think about where you live, and how it got its name

By changing it to something else, it wouldn't be the same

Some very ignorant people weren't thinking when they wanted

to change the name of something. Just think if someone decided

to change Escanaba, because it is a Native American name. I am

sure the Native Americans are proud that we honor them by using

a name in their language. As does everyone else. America became

America because of the Nationalities that make up this great nation.

Be proud of your nationality and all the names that make it what it is.

No offense needs to be taken.
