America the Great


America the great, is not so great,

Or rather great with imperfections

That impede its equal opportunity gate.

Even if pointed in the right direction

What is it without strong grit?

Freedom; religion and speech

We become more diversified and omit

And unify, though we must impeach.

Though not sheerly great, we are the best.

Steps taken forward and progressed,

Some taken back and regressed,

America you’ve come a long way

And now is not the time to quit,

Your greatness if your writ.

 

America is great and home to all

Deserving, the wall is not so tall.

Down with it.
