Not Enough P.C.R.W
By Lizzie Parker
Response

I do not see a star-spangled banner of red white and blue
only anger embarrassment and disappointment
lashed by selfish greed and punctured by racism

I do not see the one born out of many
only the taking of sides
the taking up of arms
the taking of lives

I do not see America the Beautiful
only the puffing of a chest and
the shunning of reason
rapidly cooling a star into a
dwarf

Perhaps because I am not
Patriotic enough to always make lemonade
Christian enough to believe what I am told
Rich enough for change to be unnecessary
White.
