"The U.S.A. Could be Better"

Look at this world What do you see, One great nation we’ve made today? We have claimed achievement But we must see why- Some stories differ from side to side Horrors and wonders have built our world We must never forget the world’s dark side! The Holocaust took hundreds of thousands of lives; Took the breath right out of their lungs Some turned away-in denial Most knew though-that it was real The USA said, “Immigrants come to us,” “We’ll save you from the Nazi camps!” The world looked down on the genocide Countries reached out to protect the small, The world pulled together in a time of need. We need to remember this event in history History like this should not repeat So America said, “Let’s go to war!” Nations agreed and stood up tall Hitler died and his followers cried- The world was better without the Communist power. Together these nations defeated evil Today, we shall strive for equal rights, We are all human with lives to live So join the movement to break the walls Dividing race and gender and different backgrounds, Humans have rights- So let’s strike with justice Be our guide!
