Poem From Before The Election Was Decided
poem from before the election was decided
Your Bloodied Flag
“Red, white, and blue,”
you holler,
“Stand for America!”
But you must understand,
while you shout and scream
your patriotic lies,
I will not.
I will stand
for the idea of liberty.
I will stand
for the idea of freedom.
I will stand
for the men and women who brought us here.
I will not stand
for America.
I will not stand
for the Rohingya genocide America aided,
for the genocide happening in Palestine that America is funding,
for the Japanese internment camps that America built.
America is not the “superior country.”
It is not the dream that our ancestors worked for,
Nor is it the dream that we are told to follow.
It is a flawed country,
in need of revision,
reconstruction,
and learning.
We need to learn from our past,
our mistakes,
and we need to rectify them.
We need to work as a community,
to erase laws that suppress,
and to build new laws that lift people up
to be the best version of themselves they can be.
This is not an impossible fever dream.
It is the dream our ancestors held.
They dreamt of growth,
of learning,
of kindness,
of liberty,
of understanding.
It is the American dream that I hold in my heart.
No, I will not stand for America.
Not yet.
It's a poem for English class. I'm wondering if I should rewrite it considering recent events bc I'm pretty hopeless rn lol. Hopefully i feel better in the morning and finally get around to writing.

2 Pieces of News
1: I don't think anyone follows me on Wattpad, but in case someone sees this blog later and happens to use that site, my stories have been deleted and I terminated my account.
2: I am currently working on a new project and am wrestling with writers block as best I can. I'll post an excerpt once I stop staring at the 150 words it took me 20 minutes to write and get in my writing groove.
Sorry to the people that are following me for the short drabbles I post, next one is Matsuzaki, and that isn't until the 21st.

Three Dumb Little Meta Haiku
I had a haiku,
But I lost it on campus.
Wonder where it is.
Haiku are heartfelt.
Yup. Haiku all mean something.
No shallow haiku.
Poems are quite long,
Except this one, distinctly.
Haiku are funny.
Saiki Kusuo and the Olympians, Chapter Three
After Saiki Kusuo falls in a mysterious portal made by his powers, he encounters two children that show him an entirely new world. Will he be able to get home? Read and find out!
(that last sentence is a lie - I'm not sure yet either)
Saiki Kusuo is transported into the world of Percy Jackson and must fight the Gods with the help of Will and Nico.
