the state of the world

Land of freedom , home of the brave . at least that's what we say, yet at the same moment I lay awake wondering if my friends will see the next birthday  . for you see this land is built upon the bodies of people like my friends  poc , lgbtqia+ , disabled , poor . disarray and hatred is what this country has fallen to . the indisputable right to live should never have been able to be touched . if the god i prayed to as a babe is but the same as the one people like desantos pray to , then i denounce this deity ; and also this faith  . America has always been dis-balanced, just now not a soul is trying to hide it . have we forgotten that Hitler thought the way our politicians do today ; did their suffering mean nothing . is having the power to say whom among us may live , and who may die not supposed to be reserved to fate , and mother nature herself . do the cries of your own people no longer mean a thing to you  Ron Desantos ,David Bullard ,  Rep. Steve .Toph  and others; their blood is on your hands . this country is no longer a place of pride. We have been here for centuries and we will not be  eradicated . our voices will never be silenced
