    America So Beautiful

    Things can differentiate at the flicker of a switch.
    Off and on like relationships,
    those that call me a bitch.
    Though I am the farthest thing,
    from a miserable soul.
    It does disturb me how the world,
    has become so very cold.
    People putting others in freezers,
    doing things to kids? Unreal.
    I may not be able to change the world,
    but I can write down how I feel.
    At times, my head spins and it twirls,
    thinking of what I can do.
    Like everyone else, I sit and think,
    wishing my thoughts were true.
    When are we going to stand as a people,
    ‘To Lift Every Voice and Sing’.
    What happened to the pledge of allegiance,
    to pass a neighbor and grin?
    Hoping my sons can enjoy a world,
    where they can be what they want to be.
    I have to prove to them the hurdles,
    are what makes us stronger beings.
    Leading by example, I hope to make
    someone’s dream come true.
    By providing an outlet to fill your heart,
    with some hope from me to you.
