Is this new America really "for all"? We believe no.

  “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

I walked in and out of hallways not sure of what I was looking for but certain it was gone. I was a graveyard of nothing and a circus with too much so I hid…
