Great American Melting Pot

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

From Miss America
to Hunger Games
and even the
Presidential Campaign
the rampant racism
is the same.

The characters
weren't doused in bleach
and therefore
garnered much
hate speech

This is why the anger lives
This is why there's a divide
This is why there's so much pain
This is why we still complain

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

Come together one and all
or else we're headed for a fall.
This place was built by many faces
We're  a nation of all races.

United we stand but
dived we fall.
Will we do away with hate
or is another civil war
our imminent fate?
