America The Beautiful

How this Independence Day is hypocritical

105
America The Beautiful

On this July Fourth

This day will be different than before

Instead of joy and celebration

We are more divided in this nation

The home of the brave and land of the free

Muslims wonder, "Does this statement apply to me?"

While we are all immigrants in some way or another

Our President urges us to turn our backs on our brothers

If we allegedly have freedom of religion

Why are people being labled as terrorists in the place where they are living

Being educated does not limit ignorance

Especially when you have a Vice President like Pence

As we watch the fireworks in the sky

Minorities continue to cry as we continue to die

Needing government assistance is labeled just for the poor

While other races cheat, lie, and continue to gain more

On this day lets toast to our wealth

While we countdown the hours until they decide on our health

While our former President would have been eaten alive

Our current President's policies continue to thrive

Despite disdain from "liberals"

He is allowed to ruin our country and expects us to remain civil

You place a travel ban and claim it is for our safety

When a terrorist can be from any race, ethnicity, or creed

You cannot target a whole religion because of a handfull of radicals

And prevent immigration and claim it is tactical

You are going to bring back jobs to the Black community

While millions of my people sit in prison and jails without immunity

Let's fire up the grill and and have some fun

Then hear the next day someone died from a gun

Then the assailant is deemed "not guilty" when it is all said and done

So much has happened since January

Which makes me question what is wrong with this country?

So once again America has spoken

As I wait to see how he "Makes America Great Again"

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
