AMERICA, Is like ME!

America is flawed
Just like me
It has made many unforgettable mistakes
God blessed America
And
Forgave me for my sins

America is strong
Just like me
This country fought to be free
War after war
Internally and externally
As I have battled my own personal Demons
And societal expectations

America is weak
Just like me
Greed and hate penetrate its liberty
As the pain of my mistakes
Rains on my melon cheeks

America did not choose me
Nor did I choose America
It was founded on evil mixed with righteousness
As I was created on narcotics and holy water

I love America
Just like I love myself
The good the bad and the indifferent
This is my home
Like me
It will ALWAYS be a work in progress
For ALL
