America the beautiful

Is America beautiful?A thriving country that conceals itsPROBLEMSBehind the walls of the White House Built by SLAVES Between the cracks of the sidewalkAnd the jagged edges of theRocky MountainIn a country that bans books butLEGALIZES DRUGSAnd spends billions of dollars on movies and songs about violenceBut forgets the STARVING KIDS in the Streets We fight for other countries but Forget the rights of our ownThe right to feel SAFE in publicThe right to enter a room without being afraid of that one BULLY you can't seem shake.  Ask yourselfIs America really beautiful?
