Make America great again!
Can you please explain what this means?
Exactly when was it great?
When you hung the blacks from trees?
Was it when you marginalised the natives
Or led many to their deaths?
Or importing evil nazi doctors -
Just to get ahead?
Was it at the time of segregation?
Or the illegalisation of separation?
Or maybe during the great depression
When your people went unfed?
Was it the constitutional hate of gays?
Are you harping on about those fine days?
Or perhaps it's the civil war you miss?
And the slaves you gave away?
Please look back at your history
Though it's short, it's full of dismay
And realise the best version of you
Is who you are today!
Don't let your leaders tell you different
You're the land of the goddamn free!
And you have to be able to think for yourself
To have any freedom of speech...
