Was it ever really great?

Make a America great again 

a saying I heard in my ears again

but can you tell me, when was it great? 

It's first action was a crime, theft 

It's second was another crime, murder 

It's third was also a crime, abduction 

the list can go on and on 

a country made out of hatred and deceit 

so tell me which part did you decide to leave out 

which part made you cringe 

which part did you decide was unnecessary

Was is stealing of Native land, was it multiple mass murders, was it the countless wars,

slavery, unapologetic racism, theft, lies 

tell me because if not there is more 

so I'm not sure

what part was so great

Land of the free 

Or home of the despicably scorned
