The USA

By Taylor N

 

The U.S. of A

Or the United States of Arses,

You know what they say.

 

Got no respect for ourselves,

Our elders and our freedom when

People all over the world are

Fighting just to see them.

 

The U.S. of A

The cookie cutter continent.

Everyone looks different but we’re

Cut from the same fabric.

 

Wants to get rid of racism

But doesn’t understand it won’t

Disappear until the newspaper stops

Reporting every black man

Dead.

 

The U.S. of A

Is really a disgrace.

Thinks we’re morally the best,

But we’re no better than

Hitler

And his idea of eliminating a race.

 

We’re killing ourselves already,

Over the smallest things. We

Used to have tough skin but

Now we’ll cry if you

Scream in our face.

 

The U.S. of A

Is truly a terrible place.

Our elections are based on

Popularity

And not who will truly better

This space.

 

We’re on a downward spiral,

No longer saying grace.

Welcoming our soldiers home

By spitting in their face.

Oh,

Wait,

We don’t do that now.

We throw them on the street

With only enough money to buy

One meal to eat.

 

We feed our kids garbage,

And complain they’re

Overweight.

I mean,

Why buy a salad when a

Burger is a dollar eighty-eight?

 

The U.S. of A

Braggers of petty accomplishments.

All we’ve done the past

Fifteen years is promote

Fear

Of a "shady" establishment.

 

We’re always quick to

Shoot a gun, but never to

Help quench hunger.

We’d rather kill and neglect,

Than to help others

Prosper.

Seven billion people in the world

And I guess all they are is a

Number.

 

The U.S. of A

Likes to think we do things right,

Liberty and justice for all,

Am I right?

If that's true,

Then how come a criminal

Is able to gloat

That he got acquitted for a crime,

Because he can do more than float?

 

The U.S. of A

Likes to step on toes

And lift our nose

To anyone we find

Beneath us.

We think we’re the best kid

And everyone wants to be us.

For once we should shut

Our mouths, before

We get our lips bust.

 

Dear U.S.A

You better

Check yourself.

Love,

We the People
