Sleeping soundly in the night
Sweet dreams sadly interrupted
Gunshots from gang fights
Children missing and abducted
Our brothers and sisters scared
American blood spilled for no reason
Nonstop violence the news blared
Constant worry of government treason
Schools no longer a safe space
Police meant to protect and serve
Our kids forced to hide in a crawlspace
Allies outside only to observe
A country that used to be great
Founding fathers rolling in their grave
An insurrection to be had at this rate
The lower class to be the upper's slave
This nation divided by race and wealth
Unable to survive in this commonwealth

The United States of Hatred
PoetryThis is a poem that describes my point of view of the US in it's current state. May a time come where we can end this violence and be at peace with one another. *NOTE: Cover photo does not belong to me, and I do not take credit for it*
