America

This is a poem about what America is, and what it should be to make it a great place to live.

By Sarah from Hazen Middle School in North Dakota

America is a place where people can

Be free to be themselves.

America is a place where people can

Live without getting judged or discriminated against.

America is a place where people can

Express their political views and religious beliefs

America is a place where people can

Live wherever they want to live

America is a place where people can

Be any race and gender and freely express themselves

America is a place where people

Should all openly be themselves

America is a place where people can

Be treated the same whether you are wealthy or poor

America is a place where people can

Be a republican, democrat, independent, liberal, etc.

America is a place where

All Lives Matter

America is a place where people can…
