The real America

America stands for freedom, justice and security.

Or so they say. 

The America I know falls short of these promising qualities.

My family left their home country to come to the greates country in the world

But upon arrival the doors where shut in their faces. 

The American Dream is not so easily attainable.

The equality is not always evident.

You look a little different or sound a little foregin and the same rules don't apply. 

The justice is not always just 

But what makes America great isn't the media. 

Its the people that fight for the opporunity to make everyonw feel welcome.

Those individuals that protect the rights of those they don't even know.

America is strongly characterized by people who aren't afraid to stand up

For what they believe and who they believe in. 

America, You are great. You have great potential.

The people running you sometimes get it wrong

But those that see the worng and are willing to change it,

They make America Great. 

They are true Americans.
