Aren't You Proud?

poem/song about how hate has corrupted America

By CT IdlehousePublished 2 months ago 2 min read

Isn't this what you wanted?

Aren't you proud of what you did?

Is America great now?

Aren't you happy to be even further in debt?

/

You wanted the criminals out of your country,

Ignoring the orange pedophile

Sticking his greasy hands in the treasury,

But it's not happening to you,

And it's gonna make you rich,

All the jobs opening up,

One happy son of a bitch.

Except, you were fooled,

And now your coworkers are gone,

And you have to make up labor

For the arrested and deported ones.

/

Isn't this what you wanted?

Aren't you proud of what you did?

Is America great now?

Aren't you happy to be even further in debt?

/

What's the problem, Farmer Bob,

Did you lose all your pickers?

Were you giddy to call ICE

On your hard-earning workers?

Oh, you didn't call them,

Because you love all the good migrants

Because they make you the most money

And don't know you're fleecing their paychecks.

Did you think they were going to ask,

Which ones you wanted to keep?

Wolves don't care about your preferences

When they're killing your sheep.

/

Isn't this what you wanted?

Aren't you proud of what you did?

Is America great now?

Aren't you happy to be even further in debt?

/

Men bent over and cuffed in a prison,

Their crime was wanting to be an American citizen.

They're sent back to corruption, war, and poverty,

The American dream is a nightmare reality.

Teenage girls are turning up pregnant,

They're raping the women and removing the evidence.

Leaving them in the forest in the dead of winter,

At least dying in nature is better than under a predator.

This is a second holocaust on American soil,

Another senseless genocide to add to the toll.

Because they're dying inside cages,

Dying inside their own skins.

Delusion is a refuge

When the only option is submission.

/

Isn't this what you wanted?

Aren't you proud of what you did?

Is America great now?

Aren't you happy to be even further in debt?

/

I hope every single Nazi in an ICE uniform

Gets strung from their wrists,

Obliterated in a bulletstorm.

Because the only good Nazis,

Are ones being eaten by worms.

Don't tell me I'm overreacting,

You're not taking a backseat

To atrocities you voted into happening.

We all know this snowball

Would become a fucking avalanche,

But you were too blinded by privilege

To think you would be affected.

Immigrants affect every moment of your lives,

They put food on your table,

They cook your burgers and fries.

They build your neighboorhoods,

And the cars that you drive.

And this is how you repay them,

By labeling them inhuman.

Well, your regime is failing,

So...now, what are you doing?

What are gonna do when he dies?

You gonna say it was all lies?

That he tricked you and you didn't know

He'd ruin so many lives?

He's a symbol of hatred

And poisoned our country.

I hope all of it was worth it,

To watch him die in infamy.
