America is beautiful, great and wonderful
Eadem opera, she is ugly, pitiful and dreadful
In regards to the mistreatments of the Native Americans
The African Americans and other minorities
Yet, America is one of the best countries
In the world to be part of or to become citizens
Slavery remains an everlasting thorn in her history
Discrimination is an insecere cancer which won't go away
Any time soon. In the USA, one can always find a way
To survive, to make it amidst the chaos and the irony
Yes, America remains a land of a plethora of opportunities
We all hope and dream of a better America
We all pray and wish for a better America
Where breathe love, peace and auras of positive energies
We love America when she's right, just and fair
America, America can be like a Giant Bear
Who will equally protect her children
America can be like an uncelestial heaven
Let's celebrate Juneteenth: the emancipation proclamation
And the Fourth of July with love, peace, respect and admiration.

You accommodated so many fellows
That they hybridized cultures of two
That they've treated me so much well
That they gave me an enjoyable mood
I've enjoyed it by my intrinsic will
And enjoyed it for the public good
I've once been accepted by full
And been trusted with possible could
I've been missing it since a sudden leave
And I've kept my pursuits in my heart
I've been waiting for the coming forgive
Till the going back has listed in a chart
I must honestly express my gratitude
As they offered me the life that I should

I watch each stained glass sunrise as it surfaces from the sea
and each sunset, when dusk paints pastels with grand esprit
No fence surrounds my oasis, no flashing lights or blaring horns
and I've hybridized my roses, so no longer do they have thorns

life is but an orange
full of pulp, seeds, beautiful
sweet tasting soul
hybridized over multiple generations
the color slightly changes with also taste
orange is still an orange
full of pulp, seeds, beautiful
sweet tasting soul
when squeezed
juices comes out
understanding and with love
except when spoiled
