FREE ESSAY ON I HEAR AMERICA

I HEAR AMERICA

I hear America's plead for a place of tranquility, far and bright as the sun.
A mom crying for a black son, gone to the cruel actions of racism.
A child screaming as a bullet let loose, another innocent classmate lost.
A boy watching his friend's life slip away to heroin, cocaine, and
A daughter hiding in the dark closet, avoiding the hard blows of her alcoholic father.
A dad waiting in the ER room, after a disturbing phone call on a drunk driver accident.
A girl numbed by fear, too naive to understand the disease a filthy man had given her.
I see America dream of an insubstantial place.
