i love U.S.
our skin
our culture
our contributions
to this country
ours is a melting pot
of diversity
you’re a part of me
i’m a part of you too
i love that about U.S.
we should talk about it more,
much more
there’s blame
i’ll carry it for you
because,
its heavy
and someone must hold it
i am willing
i am able
please know
we both hate
what happened
and we both fear
the shadows
of caste
that haunt
U.S.
there’s pain
show it to me
give it to me
let’s put light on it
because,
if we can see it
we can heal it
let’s gather up our talents
the best of you
the best of me
and walk
together
hand in hand
united
into our finest future
to create
a new
praiseworthy history
our children
can celebrate
