Give up your dream
America
nothing good can come of it.
The most beautiful thing about you
is not a dream
but reality: people of all colors
all races
all your bloody history’s children
living amidst your brokenness
trying to fix a thing that failed
before it ever began.
You are not the land of the free
until everyone is free
you are not the home of the brave
while militarized police kill unarmed
human beings.
The dream is a lie: everybody
cannot have everything
only a few who stand
on the backs of many.
Capitalism is a cancer that eats
the heart of the world
sucks air from the planet’s lungs
takes and takes without giving
while you
America
smile and smoke cigarettes.
We the people
do not want your lies
filtered or unfiltered
anymore.
We are going to take…
