MURICA' ! Red , White , and Blue ...

Speaking on the poem America's Story written by Ms.Lamphier, my favorite line is,"Americans shadow-boxing a ghost wearing red, white, and blue yet you can only be white, work until you're red, and die blue as the bag of freedom suffocates you with false promises and paperwork." I really enjoyed this part of the poem, because I solely agree with this statement. America is seen to be a great place full of opportunity, but you must be a certain color to do well. Many people come to America and work all day and night to achieve greatness, but in the end don't achieve the dream they really had in mind. Then they die, because they are suffocated by the difficulties, and inequalities, and untimely die without accomplishing "The American Dream". All the hard work never paid off, but they could only work and hope one day it would.
