Shattered Stars and Stripes
Yes I can see
From the glow of my computer light
That I cannot be proud of
Our stars and stripes.
We stand on the shore and ignore
The helpless cries of our fellow man,
President Trump speaking vauntingly of our successes
But does he even know what success means to us?
He's boasting about his "improvements"
While he neglects the starving and colored
The poor and uneducated
The immigrants and refugees
The gay and trans
The disabled and dying.
We're still fighting the battle to be freemen,
And I'm never sure where I stand.
So tell me Mr. Tump,
How can we make America great again?
This poem is about:
Me
My country
Our world
