My American Creed
Summary
My American Creed is what I see in America everyday. I wake up everyday not knowing what will happen that day, week, month or even that year. It's so many bad things happening in America that it just scares me. I just hope we all can help better America and it's sad habits.
America,
Where it isn’t safe,
You could be walking down the street
And someone could come up to you
And put a gun up to your head
And try to rob you
America,
Where kids get kidnapped,raped and killed
And nobody does much to prevent it
Or even give that child the justice they need
America,
Where even schools aren’t safe
Children coming to get there education
And get killed instead
What are we doing to stop this America ?
America,
Where nobody is really safe
Not even the elderly,
Not even the babies,
Not even the blind,
Not even the deaf,
Not even our own president
America,
Where we need to stop all of this negativity
Stop all the killing,
Stop all the raping,
Stop all the kidnapping,
Stop all the school shooting,
Just keep our America safe
America,
Where we are “united”
But are we actually acting like it ?
We are the ones killing and hurting each other
We as Americans need to stop this
