I Am a Country

Madison Ogashi
I am a country whose land was green and alive.

I am a country whose land held promise to those having courage to tame me.

I am a country whose land was as far as the eye could see.

I am a country whose land is stained with the blood and sweat of those once lived.

I am a country whose land can tell you stories of freedom.

I am a country whose people built upon till there is no more green.

I am a country whose people make it hard for me to breathe.

I am a country whose people are choking me with rules and laws.

I am a country whose people are letting me die a slow death.

I am a country whose people forgot about.

I am a country called....America.
