America is like a bubble floating peacefully in the air

People say this bubble is special

People say this bubble is perfect

People say this bubble is everything they need

But what is inside the American bubble?

Deep inside we see chaos

Unkept promises

Discrimination

Brutality

Inequality

Unrealistic dreams because we created false statements about our nation

Why do we lie to millions who come into our country only to disappoint them?

There is a boy

A boy like so many others

Trying to get in,

But the bubble pops

His world turns upside down

Inside the bubble he sees chaos

Unkept promises

Discrimination

Brutality

Inequality

It is nothing he expected

He’s different people say

He doesn’t belong here people say

He looks around at all the other boys

Thinking, why isn’t that me?

What makes me different?

Why am I treated this way?

This is the sad reality

This is the American bubble
