Fourth of July

[polar totem]

Seven sirens tonight
People dying tonight
Fireworks booming every second
The fireworks never ended

Today was a celebration
For a country that "lives in unison"
A country that's free
A place of equality and safety

But this place is just the opposite
Hell you could call it
People dying left and right
Sirens blaring through the night
People sleeping on sidewalks
No one using crosswalks

There's murder and pain
Chaos and stain
This country is a stain
On the world map
Wash us away and forget who we are

What are the fireworks for
Theres always more
What is there to celebrate
In a country full of hate

Seven sirens tonight
People dying on the fourth of July
Anyone who survived
Emptied their wallets
To get a ride
To the place that keeps them alive

This country cares
More about money
Than the people who live on it's land

Make that eight sirens tonight

love this, and oh so true

[polar totem]

Lmao I can't wait to leave
I'm moving out of country in a few years so I won't have to think this place for much longer

[west tangle]

aww, where ya headed? & I think you may find that other places are dealing with the same nonsense.

[polar totem]

Yeah fair
I'm going up to Canada
Money's worth more there but stuff is more expensive
But healthcare is free and less boiling weather
I'm more of a thunder and rain person rather than a summer person

Hopefully the politics and drama won't be as bad as the US though

[west tangle]

yeaaaaa, about that last comment. goodluck with that, but I feel you on the boiling weather notion, I'm in houston, I catch a sweat just taking out the trash this time of year

Luckily im like on the northwestern coast area so the highest it gets is like 100 a couple days a year and that's it
But even 80 is a little much for me

[west tangle]

ah got ya, yeaaa, you wouldnt like it down here, Ive always wanted to goto Canada, have a buddy that stays in Vancouver and sends me videos of eagles all the time. random, I know. but I got a weird thing for eagles so that always made me wanna goto Vancouver

[polar totem]

I've also wanted to visit Vancouver
For no specific reason but I feel like it would be fun
