Your Country
"One nation,
Under God,
Indivisible,
With liberty,
And justice for all."
It's interesting how people believe that those words are not false;
It's interesting seeing tons of my sisters and brothers having to fall;
It's even more interesting witnessing you get away under some sort of law.
But isn't it funny how you hate us because of the skin that we live in;
And isn't it funny how you are allowed to get away with such a great sin;
Isn't it funny how you don't have to end up in a casket or a bin?
These are of course the terms of our society;
And because of you, I get to live my life full of anxiety;
Now my mental illnesses have turned into a variety.
Now because of you, these are the things that I will do;
I will continue to sit while your pledge is being recited;
All the while you continuously enter our homes without being invited;
I will continue to sit during your anthem;
All the while you scream they got what was deserving of them.
