Modern Day America

Today I am a whirlwind mess
with politics, war, pollution, hate, and strife.
The poor and the weak I simply oppress,
too preoccupied with my selfish life.

My own glaring problems I push away.
But I would rather you be in this country
than any other place, on any other day.
Here all are equal, all are free.

If I protect you, will you protect me?
