Being American Means Many Things

Some Americans are cruel

Some are racist

Some are sexist

Some are mean

Some are rude


But most importantly,

Some are kind


The ones who are cruel enough to separate families

Shall be shunned


The ones who fought for Civil Rights

Shall be celebrated


The ones who use the Constitution as an excuse

Should be ashamed


America is home if you’re here

But it is nothing like a dream
