Land of the free and the
home of the
brave.
This meant something
until we were made a
joke.
A century ago we welcomed
foreigners to our
country.
Today there are men saying
that walls should be
built.
People from all cultures taught us
what it meant to be
American.
They had come from countries where
they were enslaved and
hated.
Our cities and hearts were full of
diversity only a century
ago.
We had always been the land of opportunity but
when did that land become filled with
despair?
Wake up, please,
the citizens of
America!
stop the hate and racism against
those who do not look like
yourself.
Stop the humiliation imposed on those if
their religion is not the same as
yours.
The violence against our fellow humans
must stop now before it is
irreversible.
Humans are all unique, our cultures are
diverse, and our history is
colorful.
Accepting each other is the only way
to achieve peace between our
lands.
We might still have a chance to once again
be the land of the free and home of the
brave.
Our worlds will collide, but the culture
born from it will be rich and
beautiful.
The children will run and play freely without
fear as such in the times of
yesteryear.
Why build a wall when we can support and
help people who are truly
suffering.
Without love and acceptance, American
will never be made great
again.
