Poetry Corner: A Song About America

 

A Song About America

by Sean Taylor


(history's a lie that they teach you in school)


all people are created equal and

endowed with certain unalienable rights

(except, of course, those who aren't)

racism and slavery are state rights

aren't I a woman

whatever happens to a dream deferred

southern trees bear strange fruit


(you never ask questions when gods on your side)


god hates fags

make america great again

protect our female athletes

no men in girls bathrooms

haitians are eating the dogs

no more dei hires

migrants are criminals and animals (or let loose from asylums)

the sin of empathy is the enemy within

very good people on both sides (but our side is gooder)

woke bullshit


(i have a dream)


black lives matter

trans rights are human rights

allyship is action

trans women are women trans men are men

remember the insurrection of January 6

coexist

i ask you to have mercy

i love you land of the pilgrims and so forth


(i hear america singing)


young man, young man, your arms too short to box with god

(c) 2025
