I still love America these days
Even if its in a post-apocalyptic
Way.
I still love the air
I breathe here
Even if its filled with toxicity and
Sickness and death.
I still love the
Nature of America and
Its many great landmarks and
Parks that still dwell
Untouched by the pandemic.
I still love the people here;
The mobsters, the free spirits
The hoodlums and pranksters
The art creators and other
Eccentric types
That make up
This great country of ours.
I still love its many great cities
And its diverse population
Where every form of life
Can still be found,
Even if they now live in fear.
And
I still love this country
Because I know
That someday
It will learn
From its many
Recent mistakes
And transgressions,
And become something
Better and greater than
It was before,
But first it will need to
Hurt.
Really bad.
Which is where we
Are now at now…
