My Dream World

I've been living in a dream world in which the lines “And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea,” were a reality, not a hope. The 2016 election season has shattered my dream world because every time I look at news photos and videos I see ugly hatred in the faces of many of my fellow citizens. I never dreamed there was so much hate among us.

My perception of my country is destroyed and my dream is shattered. I can’t help wishing that “America the Beautiful” were our national anthem; singing and hearing those words again and again might have made our country more like my dream world.
