The United States Of...

We are United,
In grief,
In struggle,
In fear,
Of the very government that leads us,
The United States of Sorrow...

We are United,
In not life, but labor,
In not liberty, but labels,
Happiness, we can barely pursue survival,
The United States of Lies...

We are United,
In poverty,
In unanswered prayers,
In racism,
United in all the wrong...
The United States of Suffering...

We were United,
By war,
By slavery,
By oppression,
United by all the wrong...
The United States of America...
