Let it be documented in history
Every shameful act
Every bit of racism
That America has
Let every eye that cried
And every tear that dropped
Be documented on your shameful pages
Let every sigh of oppression
Every exhale of depression
That America caused
Mingle with high winds
And twirl around
Sweeping everything in its path
america never was I proud of you
My country
With your many shameful acts
Your lynching, your sadistic control
Beyond reason
Your inequality in religion and race
Your double standards in freedom of speech
america
Every tree that grew on your land
Was watered from evaporated tears
And your eagles that soar high in the sky
Resting on your magnificent mountains
Mumble words of disappointment
And burry their faces from disgrace
And your stars that are embedded
On your flag
March with no dignity at night
america
You have done so much injustice in your land
Uncivilized acts of discrimination
Targeting Muslims
Treating them in such inhumane ways
As if you swore on
INEQUALITY we stand
The abuse of your power has gone too far
Innocent young Muslims
Lie all day staring at the ceiling
In a 6x9foot cells
I DIE…. I DIE
I die many times at night
My soul rises from grief
To be returned in the morning
Still in shock
What america
My own country has done
To my INNOCENT SON
And a million more
