America's Glow Up


It isn't time to make america great again! A country that was founded on the bood of the natives and slaves was never great to begin with. It's time for America to glow up Cleanse yourself, America, Of the blemishes of bigotry Drop the weight of hate from your shoulders Drop those who don't grow with you When Donald Trump calls you at 3am and says he misses you Respond to him with, "New phone, who dis?" Glow up, America When you hear the cries of children locked in cages, open the doors When black men shout "Stop killing us!", then listen When survivors say "He hurt me", believe them Glow up, America Injustice has no room in your heart Equal rights and opportunities should become second nature No one should cry because of you, America. A country founded on the blood of innocents Was never great to begin with But one day, America, you'll learn the secret And then it's over for those hoes, Those bigots that don't hear the heart beats pounding in the foster system, in cages, in toxic homes, in front of an officer who insists they have a gun, in front of a mass shooter who is "just mentally ill", These bigots will always tell you what they think you should do But one day when you're ready, America, Speak up Stand up Glow up And don't go back.

Okay so tell me how America was created. Did the indigenous people let colonizers in or were they killed? Forced to convert to white man's ideals? Did slaves from africa gladly volunteer to do the work for white men or wrre they forced to? Sold as property? Treated less than human? If you don't understand, that's alright, ask questions to educate yourself. You want to educate me? Go ahead, but use facts, not insults.

<p>If you&#39;re dissatisfied with America, then maybe you should leave it and live in another nation.&nbsp; Also, this nation was founded by the red people and not by their blood or by the slaves&#39; blood.&nbsp; What you said makes no sense. &nbsp;</p>
