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
