Dear Tykira I am overwhelmed by your poem, "America's System," because it truly demonstrates the frustrations of Americans when it comes to healthcare. The poor system failing our citizens is described in a simple yet captivating manner. One part of your poem that stands out to me is the tone. I think this is significant because it gives a voice to the million feeling the same way. The voice of angered people who just want to be cared for being ignored are voiced through your poem. Another part I enjoyed was phrases like "we cannot," "it will not," and "they will not." This stood out for me because of the lack of wanting better healthcare for American citizens by our government. Your poem reminds me of something that I made once. One time I helped make T-Shirts for the Epilepsy foundation my cousin was apart of. We were doing a 5 mile walk for epilepsy awareness and to protest against the countless children and adults that go without care because of lack of insurance and money for medical bills. Ever since I have been strong on advocating for better healthcare for the citizens of our country. Thanks for the poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next because your creativity has left me speechless. I have rerea you poem multiple times and loved it each time.

I like the part in ramlahs poem where it says "What happens when the money goes away? It's like you were never there, now you're just like everyone else". Giving the implication that if you don't have money the healthcare wont care about you. No more "help" as they put it.
