“Liberty and Justice for All”
Liberty and justice
For people who are men
For people who are white
For people who are heterosexual
For people who are rich
For people who are “American” and “American” only
For people who don’t speak up
Don’t go against society
Don’t say no
Don’t protest
Liberty and justice
For cookie cutter people
People who fit the criteria
People who aren’t a minority
And don’t struggle
Liberty and justice
For almost nobody
Posted in response to the challenge Liberty.
Imagine if
Every book came with a key
A key that opened a door
Into the book
Into the worlds
That are your happy place
Escape from reality
Taken to a new level
The joy found in between the pages
I always thought it would be like the movies
Beach trips and ice cream
Field trips and cheering on sports teams
Late nights with fairy lights
My first kiss
That feeling of bliss
It’s not
I'm American born and raised
not enough pay
I'm an American women through and through
women don’t get to choose
I live in Vermont
why does he always get what he wants
