America’s Beautiful Sonnet: Welcome Knights


Come along my friend, you are welcomed too!

For this is the land of hopes and dreams,

This is the perfect place you see, everything is as it seems.

In America you are free to be you,

Even if you are a different hue.

See we are all different but we make great teams.

Can’t you see all the happiness as it gleams?

See this place is best for you, so just come on through.

But first there are a few rules.

You can not breathe unless We say,

And you will be deemed suspicious if you look a certain way.

Unless you are like We, you will not be given equal rights.

We will tell you what you need but we will give you different tools.

But you should be delighted to be America’s Knights.
