AMERICA MK II

            America

It’s been a while since we’ve talked I’ve felt the need to exercise my freedom of speech

But you’ve ensnared me in the leather bondage straps of martial law,

Lawfully masquerading as Democracy

Get a pen out and start taking notes Or I will inevitably aide in the destruction of the veneer America, once the great melting pot, where did your trust go as people are patted down, arrested, questioned, and murdered for their color, what is this the 1960’s?

America, you used to have an open door yet now you have barbed fences with dogs and men

    the only thing missing is a boiling water moat

America the most frightened of all, the one with highest Defense Budget

America, what happened to the purple mountain ranges and waves waves waves of grains?

Were the mountains blasted off in search of coal, the grain replaced by genetically modified corn?

America, what happened to your values, once prized scientists and inventors get paid far less

    than the guys hitting balls, dribbling balls, kicking balls, groping balls!

America my votes used to count, now tell me why they are now plopped into the suggestion box

    at Goldman Sachs, Exxon Mobile, and Wal-mart, sent the next day to corporate incinerators?

America, you seem to have put on a few, have you been filling up on McFascism?

America, you tried to tell me that the only way to be happy was to make money even if it causes me debilitating Depression

America, when did the Cathedral and Cross mean anything to your voting patterns and legislation?

When did the cathode rays tell you what to do, what to feel, what to think?

America have you learned nothing from the war to end all wars? And the one after that and again and again and again?

Well I suppose it’s alright, how else will we learn geography when you victimize those closet socialists known as teachers?

America, what happened to your great outdoorsmen, the only people I see outside are young people

    throwing cigarette butts to the wind before climbing into the maws of mobile machines and     the country club’s saturday golfers taking breaks from the poolside at the corporate expansion mansions and they cringe,

I cringe, WE ALL CRINGE

    We masochistic fucks at the thought of the GREAT OUTDOORS when we can't breathe from the pollution we blame China for.

Oh America, your media represents your mind, and your mind is full of homicide and slander

America, you encourage fear in place of love, you make good people more afraid of financial loss

than hurting their fellow human.

America, you’ve become so disillusioned that you can conceive a DEBATE against homosexual marriage

America, you’re a sexist and you know it, never a female president, how dare we think of women as anything other than a hole for dicks and a cleaning cooking servant, now you want to

    tell them what to do with their vaginas?!?!

America, when did you become the United States of the Democratic Party only to be replaced in

    10 years by the United States of the Republican Party? (Change paid for with Tax $$$)

America you still haven’t apologized your genocide of the Native Americans                           

YOU TERRORIST!

America, you’d think that after a couple killing sprees a Marathon Bombing

And a hatchet in some cops head

you’d notice that the people are unhappy

America, you pour gasoline on yourself and roll around in the economic fire, hoping for perpetualgrowth like a cancer cell

America, when will Nader be present?

America, and this is the worst, I realize that though I can’t stand it, it’s not your fault

It’s mine, my parents, and theirs before

We never rose and came together to squash tyranny

We gave a half-hearted push but slackened.

Well no more

No more bile, no more incompetence

No more hate, no more greed

This land is my land, and I will help change it

Return it to the reserved glory it once was

Look out America

I am the future

                                                  I AM NOW
