America


What is great about america,

is not the onslaught of people who peacefully protest

and not the people who lost their lives for mistaken crimes,

not the assumption of actions for race

and not the way we arrogantly live our lives

 

What makes america great, is how we converge.

how we tear eachother apart every day

from social media to the hall ways,

to the news and back

and yet at the end of the day

we each would fight for such a country 

 

it is our home 

a home for you and I

despite whoever leads it 

despite the magnitude of opinions that reside within it 

because the secret is, 

The People Lead America.

 

This is America.

like that of a molecule, 

constantly moving

never torn apart.
