WHAT IS AMERICA?

October 23, 2018

I’ve been alive on this earth, occupying this vessel called a human body for sixty-one years and three months. My memory takes me deep into my history. Irrespective of being alive for sixty-one years, my life as a human being has been lived for forty-two years.

If America is the home of the Brave
And the land of the free
Is America the place for me

AMERICA HAS SELDOM BEEN AMERICA TO ME
