  Make America Great...lol    1/26/21




  2021 has finally arrived,

43,
I'm surprised
I've physically survived
inside a country that takes absolute pride
in the glory of all the free laborers that
sweated,
bleed,
and died for it to become great;

then one hundred and fifty-two years later
I hear the U.S. president's slogan

"make America great again"
...
Last time I checked
in order for anything to be great again
it had to have once been great
...
so I went through the United State's history (his story)
...
1616 Europeans came to what they labeled America
...
I'm positive the natives to the land did not call it America
...
Eurpeans brought desease,
kilted off the live stock,
and
stole the natives land...
forcing the natives to relocate to foreign areas of America
...
that does not sound like greatness to me...
but I guess his story is not the truth...
