Topics Of The U.S.A. , The Honest Poem
Summary
This poem is about several topics that have been more relevant within the recent years or has been a topic within U.S. history. Within all of these parts, I do give out my personal opinion about these topics. I will also add some of these topics are controversial.
1. Supremacy
When The Caucasians and colored were treated and known as different
The KKK trying to make an American world, Where they are the only ones left.
The bathrooms separated
The people segregated
Yet the children knew no better
The same ideals of the lesser black man coming from the early years of an ever growing country
The KKK, The Confederate.
The demons of America nobody never forgets
Yet Our Current America,
Stuck In the Past
Unable to move forward
Because of their family lineage takes a hold on them
The People of modern Racist, still want to feel special by making themselves alone
The colored standing up by representing their history of oppression
Yet violence is their answer
And Charlottesville is there main battleground
For a generational war on the racist
That paints an image for an outsiders
Of an unaccepting America
There burning crosses and supremacy ideals
isn’t something to define America
'
2. Antifa
The modern day equivalent of an unreasonable ideology.
Violence is their answer
To those they assume are fascist, racist or right extremist
Yet that young adult straight out of high school, who has an American flag at his door
Is left in an alleyway by Antifa
Then Antifa left him in alley way with bruises and cuts
To assume
Is to have a chance to be wrong
To have an absolute ideology of your opinion
Is what you call an unchanging violent party
Who can miss their target by a few meters
They take a high risk
For an ideology know as Antifa
This isn’t something to define America
3. Immigration
All over the world, to escape third world problems
They come here from America from near and far
Many of them citizens, successful
These are Americans
Yet those who stay for 30 years
Yet aren’t citizens
Become a victim of a suppose unfair system
When they had time to become
Apart of the American nation
They break the law
It’s the same if I lived in any country
Without me contributing to their society
An outsider, who disguises themselves
Turns victim because they were caught
We welcome those from near and far
But don’t break the rules
To live anywhere
You have to be a citizen
I’m an American citizen
4. The U.S Flag
The flag that has been flowing in the sky since we 50 came to be
One giant nation
My family, my friends, strangers in America
All live in the land of the free
Home of the Brave
Antifa needs freedom of speech to beat the assumed enemies of thiers
The KKK and the Confederate believers need Freedom to express their ideals
I need my freedom to express my opinions, my thoughts and my experiences
The United States is far from perfect
But at least my mouth isn’t zipped by the government
And all are able to express all of their emotions
America a country
Land of the free
Home of the brave
I’m an America, We are American
No matter our color or nationality
We all make what America is
We all make it imperfect but better than the rest.
