America
Oh, America the Great! Where do I start? What do I say?
Oh yes, the country where you had to wait long for your rights because you are gay
Young kids following the media, wandering ever aimlessly into their demise
Bullying occurs within the school systems, but when we fight for what’s right
For what’s right
The suspensions and expelling occur
But for which side?
Blurred lines are known very well
But never addressed
America the Prejudice, yet the country as a great melting pot
Blaming on religions that are not Christian or Catholic
For the tragedies
For the sorrows
Some of us pray on our knees
Some of us don’t
Why fight thy neighbor whom you called wrong on their views?
Why fight for who’s wrong and who’s right?
Because of this, many are terrified at night
This is a terrible sight
America the Too Late
The country that finally applies the rules after a tragedy, not preventing it from before
Where you don’t realize your aggression caused someone to take their own life
Their hopes
Their dreams
Their future
America the Unfair
A single Mexican-American mother of four works hard for a new position
Better pay
A better future for her and her young children
But someone else got the job, not her
Here’s what they say:
“He was better educated.”
But he did not have an ounce of motivation or passion
America: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Why is the country portrayed as we see it?
Is it too late?
Is it too late to change it?
Can we still make it great?
Yes, we can
Lift up the bans
Go up against fear, discrimination all together
We join hands
America the United
We stand together and tall
Show a sign of tolerance with one and another
From sister to sister, from brother to brother
We are all one
We are all one
We are all one
