America, the beautiful place full of obesity and intolerance,

where there’s a McDonald’s on every corner,

but a homeless veteran on every corner too.

The place where old white men are making choices about women’s reproductive rights,

refugees are turned away from a place founded by immigrants,

And racism is alive and well.

America the Beautiful doesn’t exist any more,

It’s America the polluted, America the Land of Sexism, America that would disappoint our forefathers.

America was founded by people in search of freedom, but yet our government is trying to take our freedoms away,

when our President is in favor of conversion therapy that makes LGBTQ+ people 8 times more likely to commit suicide,

it’s obvious that he doesn’t actually care about us.

America the money hungry country,

Where I can’t afford the EpiPen I need to survive,

And the top 1% says that raising the minimum wage is us being selfish.

America the Misogynist,

Because our country is directly affected by who we choose to represent it.

And I do not want to be “grabbed by the pussy”.

I don’t want a rapist to be in charge when my rapist is still out living free on the streets.  

We are America the sexist because when women march for their right’s it’s seen as a whine,

not a cry for help.

America the bigot,

Where people are seen more as their melanin pigment, or their religion, and less as a person.

Where “don’t shoot” is more of a suggestion than a plea.,

Where I’m worried about my friends every single day.

America the Beautiful doesn’t exist any more.

It was made beautiful by the array of faces all different creeds, colors, and religions.

Now America is the United States of Hate.
