Liberty and Justice

“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

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
