*yo Langston Hughes, your ass just got backfired

TW: The whole poem basically

I Too, Hear America Screaming,

8 years old to use a Ouija board and 21 to drink,

The cries of the homeless with the dropped dimes going clink,

The ugliness of trump trying to get equality to sink.

We're considered the best nation but what do we think.

We're looked up upon, a place you want to be,

But if you consider it what does the average American see?

Depression rates rising,

Unemployment rates coming,

Happiness leaving,

Gun violence existing!

Nothing is changing.

Our history is baffled, with lies and trades,

Nothing about it even made us a good place!

We've got our freedom,

We've got our power,

We've gotten our hope shattered.
