We are all Americans
Summary
My poem is about what can make us all Americans and even when we all come from different nation.
We are all Americans even though we have different ways of thinking
We are all Americans even when we are not the same race
We are all Americans even when we have different beliefs
We are all Americans because we all live in the United States
We are all Americans if we are sharing our problems with each other
We are all Americans when we have the same school system
We are all Americans when we love each other
We are all Americans when we take care of each other
We are all Americans because we all have different backgrounds
We are all American because we accept immigrants
We are all Americans because America is for everybody
We are all Americans because we’re all pursuing a better life for ourselves
We are all Americans because we care about our future & the youth
We are all Americans because we all share the same values
We are all Americans because we all have different cultures
We are all Americans because America is a country of freedom
We are all Americans when we have free access to healthcare
We are all Americans when we fight for our rights together
We are all Americans when America doesn’t have homelessness
We are all Americans.

Project Citizen is a youth writing lab that is offered as part of the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield University. The mission of Project Citizen is to empower young writers to engage in issues of social and political importance through a variety of genres in order to both find their voice and to become fully realized citizens in our democracy. Project Citizen brings together students from school districts and towns in Fairfield county that represent a variety of economic, racial, ethnic, and religious demographic groups in an effort to break down the "zip code apartheid" that stands in the way of true collaborative learning.
