Two weeks ago I had
So many hopes
So many dreams
Today I have
So many questions
and
So many fears
Our doors have always been open
To those who needed saving
or
To those who wanted to call America home
Trust has always been given
Maybe too freely
But judgement
and Bias
Because of religion, race or beliefs
Is no reason to close our doors
and
Build walls
If we turn our backs now
Someday when we need help
Another wall may keep us from safety
Our title as Americans
May bring on the hate of others for our kind
For things we as citizens never wanted
Our children will pay the price
I get it
Times are changing
There is a reason to be scared
The actions of some has been unforgivable
But must we assume that everyone is bad?
Must we strip our country of all that’s made us the place people turn to?
Upon us now is the task of making everyone feel whole again
We are now tattered and torn
Some of us feel empty
Almost speechless
With nowhere to turn
We need uniting
Each of us matter
Each of us care
Please give us back the place
We were once proud to call home
You were chosen to lead us
We lay our trust in you
Peace and understanding are all within reach
