My piece is about how I describe my American Creed, which is by using the power of protest.

The importance of change and diversity in our society

This is what America means to me

A poem on who actually makes up America.

The "Land of the Free" has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The US can become a much better place by rehabilitating drug addicts and potentially other nonviolent offenders.

In this piece, I break apart the American Creed and go into the ideas which make it up including how we got here, how we express our American Creed, and our freedom.
