American now, American forever

loving the land and being here

is the secret key to being American

if America feels like home,

then it is

traveling down a grueling path

with only a slight possibility of

reaching the “promised land”

the land that isn’t even as promising

as it is made out to be

this is the land that pushed hatred so

hard on our shoulders that we can’t

even get up in the morning

the land that is deceiving

lies and lies are spread of the

opportunities that lay here

we say that the present is all

that matters but we know that’s

not true in the slightest

trying desperately to fit in

even when knowing that

you never will

even though the land is a lie

it could still be better than

what home used to be

reconstruction was a missed

chance at making things better

can we even have equality any more?

is it even obtainable?

to have equality all need to want it

it needs to be the best option

but how are we supposed to

obtain equality when some

love the feeling of using their

superiority to remind others of

how inferior they are?

accomplishing equality would be

nothing short of a miracle
