“Let America Be America”  Imitation - Jedah Poleon

Let America be America again. 

Let it go to what was, or what it was actually meant to be. 

Let it be open and free, vast as the land, 

As Free as the one who lives on the land. 

(But is America free for me?) 

Let America be the dream that people can dream, 

Let it be a fight for all to fight

Where never the pain caused by one, 

But that all Men be treated equally, and fairly. 

(America has never felt like this to me, though )

Let our land be actually free.

Not with false hope and promises

But real. Really really free. 

Equality should be the air we breathe.

(There’s never been Equality, Or hope 

In what is “the land of the free”)
