Justice For All

America the Great?

America was never great,

America never has been great.

We as a country have made many mistakes,

Too many mistakes.

Taking land from innocent natives,

Enslaving those with a different color skin.

A national anthem made for a poor nation,

An anthem reflecting falsities.

Leaders need to lead, the unemployed needs to be employed, environmental life needs to live, and greed needs to disappear.

I am American, but I am not an American
