Make America good not great
Make America write dreampoems in the night
Make America rhyme
Make America forget to forget
Make America say my fault
Make America stop running
Make America ungreat our greatness is killing us
Make America talk to the children of the people
it tried to vanish
Make America talk to the animals
who are almost gone
Make America listen
Make America stop commanding God
to bless us
Make America let go
Make America kick a can climb a tree
jump into waterfalls
Make America exit the ring
For the first time
For the last time
