I.
How am I ashamed
yet proud to call you
my
country?
America
You of the
fake patriotism
You of the
contagious culture
You of the
holier than thou stance on everything
You of the
blood, white, and blue
You of the
half truth histories
You of the
billions served
You of the
biased media
You of the
brainwashed masses
You of the
propped up presidents
You of the
hired assassins
You of the
hardened arteries
You of
rights thinly disguised
You of
open arms?
the Latin
American
Asian

American
Native
American
Dead
American
You have
overthrown
totalitarian titans
to claim
their iron fist as your own.
America!
The asleep
America!
The apathetic
America!
The obese
You of the
commercialized holy days
You of the
the eternal wars
You of the
painted façade
You of the
rotten core
II.
America
You of the
Revolution
You of the
rebellious
You of the
resolute
You of the
strong backs
You of
brave, and disposable youth-
The
freedom of expression
The lakes,
the beauty, the art, the anger,
the disconnection
