We Want

A poem about the real progressive America
We are progressive
We don’t want a left-wing Jim Crow
We don’t want failed education
We don’t want leftist imperialism
We don’t want drones
No war, no fascism
Socialism overcomes capitalism
We’ll find a way to adapt
Texts books don’t tell the future — only past
We don’t want poverty
We don’t want decided sickness
We want human rights and the democracy drafted in US scriptures
We want America to be America
