America

Stormy

The earth is dying

If you stop and listen

You can hear the animals crying

If you are straight, white, or christian

Your life is great, the world in your grip

But for those who are not, prepare for your world to be flipped

Willow is not peaceful like the tree

Willow will cause thousands to die and greave

Countless of animals extinct

Humans left to die on the streets

Our atmosphere is burning

The heat increases as the world keeps turning

Countless of lives left uncertain

Willow will kill us all and close the curtains

 

They care so much about life

But only when it’s unborn

For if your a woman there’s always a price

Forced to give birth as your body is torn

Piece by piece until there’s nothing left

Your right to choose became a victim of theft

For you do not choose

Come on this isn’t news

Who lives or who dies

Is up for the government to decide

The fetus is the priority

Even though women are the majority

The men decide if we live or if we die

Like we traveled back in time

We kneel on the ground with our hands tied

Head down with agony and cries

Look up and prepare to die

For if we choose or if we loose

Prepare to be executed

By the men who saluted

To the flag in which represents

Freedom for those who are not oppressed

 

Born in a world of right or wrong

Born in world of yes or no

Born in a world of weak or strong

Born in a world of girl or boy so

Tell me, is it fair that we are forced to share

The same mind, of what is right   

Even if we disagree or fight

If you are born man but are not man

Then you should be able to choose than

If or if not your sex is your identity

Please ignore their insensitivity

Because you or me or she or he or they or it

Should not be stollen or told we are not fit

To be in this country in which we were born

For we have rights that cannot be torn

From the bodies of our families or friends

Or from strangers because in the end

You are who you are

She is who she is

He is who he is

It is what it is

 

Eduction is the enrichment and embodiment of our society

We learn as we grow in endless varieties

Yet overtime the government has learned to cover

What we need to discover

We want to know the truth

It’s our dying wish as a unison of youth

To be educated on what our ancestors have done and been through

So history does not repeat and we start brand new

To become great and whole we must know

How the united states has evolved and grown

It starts from the roots of the Natives and Africans who built this country on their backs

Yet we try to suppress this knowledge and therefore lack

The unison of our people

Surrounded and brought down by evil

The corrupt government is which we all know far to well

Has locked us away in this white washed cell

We do not know the history

Because they want their evilness to be a mystery

But we know all to well

 If this goes on any longer, Thomas Jefferson tells

That if a government becomes destructive of our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it

And we will abolish it and rain down our judgement

On how we see fit

 

America, the bells of freedom ring

The country in which is paradise

Yet this statement is embarrassing

The congress men are rolling the dice

They do what they do because they are who we choosed

Except we didn’t but yet this isn’t news

We are a democracy

Yet we are full of hypocrisy

They tell us what to do with every task

But they’ll be dammed if their told to wear a mask

This is America

We are told to behave and pay taxes

Sit back and relax

The government has your best interest

Until you don’t fit their agenda

Then they can belittle you and still be just

Because that is their propaganda

So allow me to say

Welcome to America

Enjoy your stay

    I'm overwhelmed. You don't mean 'enjoy' literally, do you? 'Feel the pain' you should tell 'em.
    I would like to see each of those topics turned into separate short punchy pieces. That would do it....but what would I know?
