I’m tired
Of the division
The building
Of barriers
The refusal
To listen
The reluctance
To hear
The violation
Of rights
Yet the
Loud demand
To preserve
Their own
The memorialization
Of accomplishments
Yet the denial
That many
Different hands
From many
Different lands
Toiled and struggled
To forge
The foundations
Of our home.
As they
Slowly unravel
And destroy
Everything
It truly means
To be American.
You want to
Talk about
Freedom?
She weeps.

Too many lives have been lost because of injustice – when is enough, enough?
Sadly I think she is past a weep to a deep sobbing cry. Very well written Sumyanna!
