america am i right
Roses are red
Gender is performative
Mass media romance is heteronormative
Black people in the street getting shot
If a girl has bodies she’s a thot
Cops are pigs and bastards
The news is plastered
With bias, terrorism, and violence
The earth is slowly being decimated
And our education system is exceedingly outdated
Transgender students can’t play school sports
And conservatives have overrun the supreme court
Women and young girls being harassed for wearing a Hijab
Trumpies storming the capitol in an angry mob
Kids are committing suicide
And the government continues to just push it aside
How much more energy do we need exert
For the government to no longer be inert
America the land of the free
Until your not white, a dude, straight or don’t practice Christianity
