God Bless America: A Rant in Verse

We live in a country where hatred breeds like flies.
We live in a country that is run by hateful men
        who we must love and honor anyways

We live in a country where helping others is "controversial"
We live in a country where making your own choices is selfish
        just because it's a hard decision doesn't mean it's a man's to make

We live in a country where you either bully or be bullied
We live in a country with religious freedom
        yet certain religious beliefs are banned from public office

We live in a country where you must conform to meet the stereotype
We live in a country where you must marry who the government says
        and where love itself is described as hateful

We live in a country with more division than a math textbook
We live in a country where the only way to get a point across
        is to start a war because of it

We live in a country where your salary depends on your gender
We live in a country that is so Christian
        that it is equal to Hell itself

We live in a country where helping others is corrupt
We live in a country that claims to be the land of the free
        but we won't let anyone else in to be free, too

We live in a country whose leader will destroy it
We live in a country where if you hate racism
        you will still be treated as if you are

If a god would be dumb enough to bless this country
        it is not one I would want to worship.

Written by Stephen
