RIP AMERICA

What are the five freedoms of the First Amendment? He asked.

Speech..Religion..Press..Assembly..

She paused. I don’t know, what am I missing? Replied Amy Coney Barrett. 

A week before the election they sealed the deal.

When I heard the news my heart broke.

Please tell me this isn’t real,

Please tell me this is a joke.

Why do they not consider how we feel? 

Yes, this is she, the person they chose to appoint

Just when living in America in 2020 was difficult enough,

I learned to take back my trust.

Goodbye civil rights, we’ll miss you.

Nothing feels right, everything’s unjust.

An end to Roe V. Wade means my body will be controlled by a stranger.

America is going backwards at this rate.

Where is the separation between church and state?

They claim that America is so great.

While some of us protest for equal rights like it’s 1968.

We can’t let this chaos continue.

Please make our wish come true.
