What's So Great?

"America the Great"

The song sings.

Voices and instruments. 

The music rings.

Where is this greatness

That makes people want to migrate?

How can such foolish people believe

That America is so great?

Racism and discrimination

Fills our streets.

Many of us end up dead

When black and white meets.

Power and corruption

Overtakes our minds.

We throw out human beings

Even if we are supposed to mix with different kinds.

What's so great

About a melting pot of water?

There's nothing to call America

Where there's just an empty space getting hotter.

Please excuse me,

I know I don't seem too patriotic.

But if you believe that this country is great,

Then you are psychotic. 

I love Cheetos,

But why should they live in the house?
My sexy dark chocolate

Is not a shouse.

How can you

Make America great again

When you know in your heart

It has never been?
