A Broken Union

Dear America,

Where has the light gone? Where did you place our freedom?

This nation is skewed by division and deception.

Please, don’t let the ashes settle on the blood stained soil.

Everything we the people did. What our leaders did.

It was our very hands we used to destroy the past, violence we the people committed to grasp that dying fire.

Yet we try to snuff out the past when it was our very foundation of possibility.

Individually we are whole but together we are more.

We the people, the future, keep our flame lit and ashes at bay.

Strive for a never ending goal, a promise of equality and freedom.

Dear America, listen to your future for we sing a melody of hope and promise.

So please, help us keep this flame lit through this storm of adversity.
