I Still Have Hope

By Alayna Hutchison

Everything is falling apart

I wish we could just restart

Everything is left or right 

All we do in this country is fight


People don’t even try to see you for you 

All that matters is red or blue

“One nation under God”

Saying the pledge makes me feel like a fraud 


Is this what the creators pictured? 

I don’t think they’d want our freedoms restricted 

Preaching hate is normalized 

My hope for this country is becoming demoralized 





“We the people,” but only if “we”

Doesn’t include people who disagree

Why can’t we just accept everyone 

I fear the end is soon to come 


If we don’t change our hateful ways 

Our country will collapse; we have limited days 

Every day I wish for change

When 

Will 

It 

Stop 

Next
Next

Nostalgia
