A letter to America

A letter to America

Dear America:

As someone who looks at your country
from the outside, it’s hard not to believe
that you have, sadly, become a nation
Ree

That too many of you have forgotten
that every other American is your
countryman, and that all this anger
and hate are destroying everything that
makes your country the envy of the
71g

The differences between you are
actually much less pronounced than
your media and your politicians have
convinced you they are.

Think about all you have to lose, and
all you could have to gain by just talking
to each other, finding common ground
and moving forward together.

Hate is a zero sum game and your
country is worth much more than that.

Sincerely, NY
\
