Is America Great Now?

song/poetry about horrors of these deportations

By CT IdlehousePublished about a year ago • 1 min read

when they make you illegal

can I make the jokes at your expense?

you make them about the brown folks -

I guess it's only funny when it's them.

/

you saw liberty dangling...

and opted for the one holding the noose.

when it's time for your hanging...

they'll be no one left to cry for you.

/

Is America great now?

Fuck around and find out.

Are we all winning yet?

Don't you hate the silence?

/

when your children are in cages

can I make the jokes at their expense?

you once called them all savages -

I guess it's only funny when it's them.

/

you saw liberty crawling...

and chose to stomp hard on her neck.

when you're the one stumbling...

they'll be no one left to help you stand.

/

Is America great now?

Fuck around and find out.

Are we all winning yet?

Don't you hate this goddamn silence?

Is America safe now?

Being throttled on the way out...

Are you all proud now?

Have you owned all the libs yet?
