What we call America
The speakers cracked to life.
"Please stand for the pledge of Allegiance."
"One nation under God indivible with liberty and justice for all."
Liberty and Justice for all?
Is that what we are making up it to be?
While people are being ripped from their families
And we are claiming to be the land of the free?
While "police agents" are killing people based on what they see, hear, and think?
United?
More like divided.
While people are trying to decide if it's alright to strip away what should have been provided?
Democracy?
Really?
While we are letting a man with over 30 felonies have a presidency?
But I guess we have never changed.
Racism has been injected into the veins of the land of the ill-gotten gains.
It stems from the roots.
The aggression towards people who are not the same.
But yet they want us to be,
"One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all"
