America....

What exactly is America? It isn't the land of the free because you cant be what you want or say what you want, without getting ridiculed for it. You can't not believe in God, because again, you are looked badly upon. What is America? I have lived here all my life and still do not have a clue about what the hell it is. So in finding what my country stand for I have..... a poem....

America
The America
Land of the free
Prosperity and unity
Hope and opportunity
Some shape of unity

America
What it is perceived to be
A common misconception
Of a country that's suppose to make no exceptions
Of who you are, what you are, or how you got into this country by far
The up to not good
The ones that don't but should
The government that never understood
Of what America is, was, and not what it is supposed to be

Be free
Hopeful to see
But can't be free
Can't prosper
Can't look into the future and see
The oppression of the America
Holding me down under one piece.

SUPPORTERS GO IN THIS SPACE
