What do you envision when you think of "America"? I see...


A world welcoming a new year, yet everyone still lives in fear.

A president whose latest fashion is lies, ignorance, and zero compassion.

A country that prides itself on being "free", yet everywhere you look, it's impossible to see.

17 students shot dead at a high school, simply because of a lack of gun rules.

Marches all over the country and world, because you have more rights if you're a boy and not a girl.

Politicians claiming climate change is a hoax, insisting the whole concept is simply a joke.

People losing their lives just because they are black, their bodies hitting pavement and their faces going slack.

Countless refugees turned away, starving and tired and begging to stay.

Children and parents separated, kids shut in cages and their parents interrogated.

Tragedies daily yet nothing has changed, ashes upon ashes and grave upon grave.

"Thoughts and prayers", "we are with you", are just things we say when we don't have a clue.

Problems and injustice surrounding us all, and now it's time for them to be solved.

You've reached the end of published parts.
