America Is
Ever since we were young, we wondered what it really meant to be American.
This is what we have found out.
America is freedom.
America is civility.
America is liberty.
America is justice.
America is allegiance to a flag.
America is forcing religion.
America is dying.
America is going to end because humanity would rather have a mixture of
Linen
Cotton
And dyes
Than save millions of innocent lives
America is going to a protest brandishing a knife
Because Americans don't know how to live happy when things are fine
America is following after hitler
Because human colors might make a strange mixture
America is leaving small children home alone to cry
Because America wants us to work a nine-to-five.
And remember.
America is doing nothing because “Other people are already doing something”
Well guess what
America doesn't have to die
So we ask you, mind to mind
Could you at least try to open your eyes?
