Poem - Dear America

Dear America,

Are we a commodity to you!? Why do ignore us despite our efforts to try to be like you. Our only longing is to be as free as you are, is that so bad? Do you really think we swam through lakes, hid in dark wagons to just betray you and not commit to you? Why do you insist on kicking us out? What have we done to hurt you? Why is there so much chaos in this world, seems like everyone is against us staying together. Your friends raise laws to push us out, never see you again! Is it a crime to want to be happy, and just enjoy life as you have? I promise to fight and make you proud but please don't kick me out. Things were yes a little bumpy, I wasn't sure you would want me here. I thought just maybe that when you saw my devotion to you, and how hard I was working, that you would change your mind. But, NO it seems to never change. I want to believe that it will all be okay. I want to trust that in the end we will stay together and be free. Wear your stripes and stars, and sing about this "freedom" song, I have heard others sing. Please don't kick me out, its true what they say, " you don't know what you have, until you lose it" don't let it be too late for us, don't let your friends keep us apart. We believe in you and know that we will be together at the end.

Your Lover.
