Be Proud of Me
Jacie was asked what America means to her she said
"The Untied States of America,
Was never America to me,
Her freedom bells sound like shotgun shells,
And what is liberty?
Not in this land does liberty stand,
While the poor pay the rich's bills,
Not in this land does equality stand,
Were homeless have to be issued meals.
America was founded on hate not love,
Those lies that said love are like whispers from a dove,
And yet you hear them but you don't see the truth,
America 1st belonged to the people who you stole it from not you.
You came to the new world looking for something to find,
But little did you know this land was soon to be mine,
Because I'm sure you didn't think I would be the one in this race,
The Native Americans are the ones who founded this place."
And never did little Jacie make more sense,
This country really didn't belong to Europeans,
And that is our ignorance,
