My American Creed
Summary
My response about My American Creed has to do with my frustration being a young person in the United States. I am so grateful for living in such a wonderful country, but there are so many things we as a society need to change and improve!
Freedom Rings
Best Country on Earth
Or So We Tell Ourselves
Who Wouldn't Want to Live
In the Land of the Free and the Brave
Where Someone's Joke Pronouns are U/S/A
Kids Get Shot While At School
They Scream "If I Die in a School Shooting Forget Burial
Just Drop My Body on the Steps of the Capital"
Politicians and Adults Say
"Kids Are So Naive"
Yet We Are Fighting For Our Futures
Access to Safe Abortions Are Banned
The World is Burning
Gender and Racial Inequality
But Hey, We Have Freedom of Speech!
Except For The Censorship of Books and Subjects In School
And Definitely Don't Say Gay
We Still Have A Great Country
But Are We Truly Free?
