Poem

Too many women with fewer choices 
Too many kids dodging bullets in fear
Too many in danger for just being queer 
So many attempts to silence our voices 

Too many immigrant lives at stake 
Too many survivors shocked and dismayed 
With abuse and intolerance so pompously displayed,
All the oppression keeps me awake 

I see too many cold and hateful hearts 
Compassion eroded by fear and hostility
I see too much violence rain down  with no remedy 
Violence we support, violence we ignore, and the violence we start 

Force fed endless lies and empty vows 
Banned books, stolen rights; all while poverty’s on the rise 
Watching history repeat right before of our eyes
A path is paved for tyranny and the complicit wonder how

Too many dreams left destroyed 
Too many drowning in a hopeless sorrow 
Figuring out how to get through tomorrow 
And trying our best not to fall to the void 

Too much strife
Too much pain 
The American refrain 
What a perilous fight 

O beautiful, land of the free 
Only free for a privileged few
With so many in shackles, put there by you,
Would God shed his grace on thee?
 
To America I say, I hope you’re happy my friend 
This is exactly what you wanted 
And while the rest of us are degraded and hunted 
Will you say America is finally great again?
