America
December 18, 2017
We say we are the land of the free but we’re keeping people captive
Keeping people scared is America’s favorite tactic
Racism and discrimination is still alive
Equality and rights for everyone is for which we should strive
America isn’t evil
But please tell me how a human being can be illegal
Please no more hate
We’re all human there’s no need to discriminate

Hi my name is Jackie. I hope when people read this they will be inspired to go out and make a change in the world. I was inspired to write this because of all the racism that I've seen and encounter in my lifetime. I believe no one should be discriminated because of their skin, beliefs, sexual orientation, religion, and more. We can change the world but it has to start with us.
