Great Again!

Let's make America great once again By getting rid of all of its corruption and sin, For freedom and justice, liberty would win But, then who America would we let in. Into this country who would be allowed Of course no large groups or even a small crowd, Others not so great could easily be disavowed Then we the ones staying, would be alone and proud. Let's make America as it was once was before When no one needed or wanted any more, Before segregation and of course before any war And before slavery, and before people were poor. Our country would be great as it was in its past When no one was ever bullied or harassed, Our country once again could be unsurpassed But, sadly because of politicians and people, it won't last. "Let's make America Great Again" is the chant and buzz But, to remember that time or era no one really does, I love American for the dreams and hopes and just because America it is great now, as it always was. Inside history books there are facts and a simple truth To discover them, we don't need to be a scholar or a sleuth, And they are taught and learned in our youth Then they should all be remembered, at the voting booth. "Let's make America great once again! " Are the words screamed and cursed by women and men, Then to them all I give them a chuckle and a grin I then reply in a debate, "America wasn't great" tell me when? To live in equality and peace without holding hate Not to judge others by their religions or faith or their fate, Never to get offender or mad when asked how to translate Treating all as equals with eyes closed, is what makes a country great.
