"Make America Great" he said

when America ever great? when your people decided to assimilate themselves

in an already taken land?

When you took the Africans from their homes to work on your land?

taking over a whole country and declare "Land of the Free" yet...you tell us to go

back to our own country.

This IS MY COUNTRY! my people driven from their homes so you can build yours

my people, treated lower than dogs yet you celebrate our independence.

This country isn't great

I'ts scared, like a child in the shadows.

You want America to be great? give us the light.
