The AMerican Drjeam


It is a land who took in huddled masses; With a promise to fulfill their dreams. America gave the right to free speech; With the right to protest and petition. America gave the right to worship any religion; With to practice your faith without any restrictions. America gave the right to carry an armed weapon; That granted the right to have protection. America forbid the right to invade our homes; A place where the army dare not roam. America gave the right to a fair trial; Where man could prove himself beyond reasonable doubt. America gave the right to vote; So every man and women could pick the candidate of choice. America gave the right to healthcare; Where every child could see a doctor. American gave the right to clean air and water; Where no man would die because all lives matter. America was a land where man could pursue his dreams; And to every American it is not always what it appears to be. People from every race risked their lives to live free; Americans now question what freedom means.
