I am from America, the land of the corrupt.

This land has incompetent leaders, And “We hold these truths to be self-evident,

That all men are created equal, that they are 

Endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”

But in reality this land was never free.

The red, white, and blue, I hate so much;

It is overly patronizing and represents a dark force, 

Racism and discrimination embedded in its core.

America has never been the land of the free, and

Americans have never had liberty.

Why do people love such a country that suppresses other people? 

They get involved in conflicts they are not part of, 

They refuse progressive science and can’t work together?

They put unqualified leaders in government,

And why do we vote for them?

People avoid compromise, they always come first.

We waste resources, while hurting other people and the environment willingly.

There are many good people,

But not enough.

There are many good leaders,

But not enough.

There are many good corporations,

But not enough.

Where I’m from has lots of un-addressed crime.

We students live fearfully of future school shootings.

Handing out powerful weapons with no background check,

No wonder we have so much crime.

So many adamant to change,

People scared about the future.

Good things come with change too,

But people want to stick to their ways.

What worked yesterday won’t work today.

America, living through a great depression, but not an economic one.

So much lack of care for people’s wellbeing.

Is this what you call the great America?

Cause as an American I am not proud of my people

Cause as an American I am not proud of my country.
