American Dream

america the brave and beautiful- 

america where anything is possible-

through all the years of strife and tears

we've fought so hard for independence 

Why have we become the menace?

We turn our backs on immigrants and refugees. 

We destroy the Earth from which we came.

Our power and greed will be our effigy.

Our racism and intolerance fills me with shame.

America why can we not love each other?

America why can we not love our diversity?

If the American Dream is what I see today,

then American I no longer wish to be.
