My Dreams For Our Nation
My dreams include hope, love, and peace.
They echo in my lioness heart and mind daily.
My constitution can barely stomach the hatred
I feel and see and the disassociation I feel from the others
Wanting to unite them with joy and enthusiasm
When they are a daily echo of differentiation
I want our nation to settle down amicably
Remembering that we are all Americans
Whether we welcome new masses to our abode
or not, should not keep us from being our
kind, wonderful, sexy, sensual, best selves.
Let’s be the United States we thought we were
a short time ago. Nothing has changed that will
not change again. We need to rise up to our name.
The UNITED states…
