Writer in the Land of the Fee

I wake up to mockery
I wake up to phosgene gas
When I take my morning poop
I’m made fun of for my ass

Far from living in a land
Anything like “free”
I don’t dare outside my van
Ever unnecessarily be

Every single day commences
With threat of violences
Demonstratedly hung
Upon the damage to each lung

Where do I attempt
To make my contribution, bruh?
Russia? Araby? Or China? ~
I write in America
