do you?
America The Great
American the Great
America the great
america the great
what is so great about america
a country built on repression and lies and death
a country built on wiping out a native population
a country built on the deep red blood of innocents
in america
people of color are brutalized
people in poverty are starving
people with disabilities are mocked
people with different religious views are called terrorists
and no one seems to care
but did you know you’re more likely to die by choking on food
than from a terrorist
america the great
people come here to follow the american dream
but what is the american dream
I’ve seen it fulfilled by living in poverty
subjected to hate
constantly worried that an immigration officer will show up and send you back
why do we love America so much
why why why why why
why is it considered so great
when i see racism, sexism, ableism, and more every american day of my american life
I don’t think I’ll ever understand
do you?
