America

America 

The land of the rich but all I see is the poor

Civilians left alone expected to die. And why

The divide is outrages 

Different stages of  rages from the whites to the blacks to mexico and all the way back . Why all these lables we all bleed the same. Its greed and weed and drink and shame and yet America has no one to blame. It's the same 

The people don't complain because money is OK 

But those who don't have  it, need the speed of a rabbit to get to a place quickly because their life is a race.  In search of a safe place 

 America shame on you

America do something new

The videos I see from Ireland, I watch in dispear wondering why you allowed your president to lead you all their.

What we see on our screens is hidden from you.

You wouldn't believe it unless you seen it too

Your country is mad which makes me sad as it's not nice see a young black male been beating by police for breathing.

Not stealing not fighting not even a robbery and that boy got thumps and lumps and kicks and bumps. Because God created him with a tan that a white man would love.

You invented sunbeds and airplanes to go abroad,  to top up your tan but yet why is the colour an issue for the black man with his natural born tan

Because your president thinks it's OK

He'll no 

Where do these young folk go , no money no education because of a small fat white jumped up orange dude who is rude and vulger and wouldnt think twice about feeling up your mother. Gets his gang to kill your brother 

No  heart and no Soul and that's who you let take control.  

America is the one place I would never ever go

The guns and the tolerance for the extreme   racist violence  is bizarre ,  scary and terrifying to watch these young people slowly dying because their president thinks it's OK

 Are You crazy America 

Your schools are becoming more dangerous then prision 

Your guns are to accessible  and yet no one will listen

They took your rights  then gave you a few but none of them truly bennifit you

The crimes are normal we have them here

But police brutality is now your fear

That most certainly would never happen over here 

Stand your ground and all become one

Its the only way forward   to get things done. stop being so racist and thinking your great because the heavenly father will not tolerate the hatred and evil that you all do

The whole world is now ashamed of you

America is not great but you all think you are and that's why its  war for yous,  you took it this far

Wow   well done to you 

You must be proud take a look at your city while you all sit down. Your birds may chirp and the animals may sing but only because there certain of one thing. 

God will watch them for they done no wrong and you will all burn while they sing their song

America ain't great but it's not to late 

Turn it around and stand your ground

Take your neighbours by the hand let's rejoice and make a new plan. No more groups and no more devoid , create a life so you don't need to hide

Most of America will always be blind to the plight that infects our nation. It doesn't matter how many well-reasoned arguments we have, I say this place was fucked from the get-go. Best not get me started on a rant about all the things that could have been avoided or changed in the past. From the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to Operation Wetback, all the way down to the current Flint water crisis and multiple occasions of political corruption seeping through from the core. I'd never defend living in America over another country, so fuck what people think. Nevertheless, as an outsider to your perspective and country I found it interesting/refreshing to read your point of view. Very intriguing, and very passionate poem by the way.
