How Can We Be Proud? Poem by Ramona Thompson

How can we be proud?
How can we be proud when our our world is falling apart?
How can we be proud when online we bully others and act no better then spoiled little children?
How can we be proud when really we have nothing to be proud of?

How can we be proud when we can't even look past the color of our fellow man's skin?
How can we be proud when the men we call our leaders are no leaders at all?
How can we be proud when the America dream has become nothing more then a living nightmare?
How can we be proud when we turn on our backs on those who need us the most?

How can we be proud when there is nothing to be proud of?
How can we be proud when there is not yet a cure and may never be?
How can we be proud when there is nothing that we can do?
How can we be proud when we have everything, yet nothing?
