America Land of Opportunity

• Artist: Purple Label CEORampage
• Description: People may not agree with this poem but this is how I see America. This is what America looks like in my neighborhood and Ive grown to deal with it but that doesn't make it okay. I need to find a better America and move there.

This is America, land of opportunity
Oppotunity to sell oranges on the exit of a freeway
Opportunity to live on a box under the 105
Opportunity to walk to school in a street full of predators
Opportunity to watch police raid your house looking for sister
Opportunity to see cops beat your brother and cal it resistance
Opportunity to be called a ****** wet back a cracker or a watermelon
Opportunity
This is America land of love
Lovingly runaway from home
Lovingly be raped
Lovingly be told your not good enough
Lovingly be jumped for who you love
Loving lose a child to government abortion mmiscarriage or a bullet
Love
This is America land of hope
Hope mom will be more than a drug addict
Hope brother will not fight for a street name
Hope neice will have a father alive and not in jail
Hope grandpa will get better
Hope grandma will stay strong
Hope sister wont stray
Hope dear God not to get shot today
Hope

This is America land of the hurt, but Im pretty sure it can be worse

This is true. Very true. Many countries are much, much worse, though. think about North Korea, for example. I'm gonna give u 5 stars. I don't like how people think everything is absolutely perfect in our country, cause it's not. I can't imagine what you've had to go though. If I said that I understood, I'd be lying. But you can change your life. so as soon as your old enough make ur life perfectly decent.
