Dear America
Dear America,
From the dawn of time
You’ve been destined for greatness.
You’ve always found the need
To help people without reason
Or rhyme.
These days it’s you that needs help
From the poor dreamer down the street
To the power-hungry officials in Washington
We have obstacles to beat.
This great country was founded on belief
That all men were created equal
Today, the men in that statement
Covers all citizens men, woman,
Children of any race should
Not suffer the grief
Of having to fight for their place
In this great land
America was once the land of opportunity
Now the land of special privilege.
I love you America, there
are a lot worse places to be
But I still feel the need to express my
Concern, from our foundations we observed what
Unfair principles were
From the British We learned
I’m asking us now, to lean back towards our
Hay day, and make the vision that our great leaders
Once envisioned a reality
We must learn again.
I hope it is not to late.
Your Citizen,
Tyler E.
