O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming? In a world where immigrants are denied freedom because they aren’t “American enough”, Where horrific events from 60 years ago are reoccurring repeatedly, A country, Where families are getting broken apart every single day because the country that they came to for a new beginning no longer wants them. We are so called making America Great Again when all the policies that we need to succeed as a whole Are getting repealed, denied, and demolished. When after carrying a semiautomatic rifle to a protest and murdering two people in the process, Kyle Rittenhouse gets a slap on the wrist. Rallies are held against each other, with imbeciles retaliating saying “I did nothing wrong, it’s my freedom to carry", "It's my freedom of speech", "It's my freedom to breathe". Learning that Columbus “discovered” this country, When in reality he snatched an already discovered nation from the Natives, Killed them, While showing no mercy. Having those same Natives be the poorest people in the land that was stolen from their hands. Influencer suddenly “caring” about another Person of Color dying for the publicity. Typing a measly 'ACAB' or 'BLM' in their bio to show their support, Framing others into believing that they are kind and caring people, But replacing it weeks later with a discount code to get 20% of an online store. Making it a big deal when someone speaks the truth about the corrupted system that we call “home” is, when no one is trying to fix it. Brainwashing an entire society into believing that a single high-expectation body standard is the only tolerable one. Cloning young men and women to be the idealistic figurine that people literally kill for. Claiming that we “strive for equality” when we do not accept other for their differences. Making it okay when another shooting or bombing occurs because they didn’t look like your stereotypical terrorist, so they can’t be one. Public figures making others feel worthless. Teenagers and young adults fighting for what they want to transform this country in to. Adults praying that the new generations fix what mistakes they have made. Living in constant fear of a nuclear war, Of another bill passed to deport your loved one, Or another shooting might happen. This is the America we live in. O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave!
