America

America
Land saturated with blood
Figures sinking in freedom’s mud
Patriots
Segregation
Multiculturalism
Gay tolerance

America
Land of my birth
Elements of earth
Skies infiltrated with human skin,
Clouds reaching within

America
Land of dreams
Flawless steel
And oceans’ gleam.
Rights to assembly
Under conditional autonomy

America
Ideology and
Equality are yet new.
Who shall teach you?

America
The beautiful
Stand beside me
And guide me
By the dawn’s early light
