Srinivas
Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
When they shot Srinivas Kuchibhotla down
It was in Austin's Bar and Grill
but it could have been most anyone
A madman pulled the trigger
Donald Trump loaded the gun.
“My Country tis of thee.”
Srinivas was an engineer
Sunayana was his wife
Like so many before they' d come down here to build a life
They were planning their first child
But it was not to be
A stranger shot Srinivas down, screaming, “Get out of my country”
“My country tis of thee.”
I was born in America, and it's right here I intend to stay
But my country's hurting now, and there's a few things I need to say:
If you fly a flag of hate: then you aint' no kin to me.
And to Srinivas Kuchibhotla's surviving family:
My country tis of thee...
