"AMERICA"

But do you win?

By Talya MenasePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You want to be conned America,

You deserve this,

You’re dumb America,

Volunteer in Africa to brag,

Picking up a couple plastic bags,

You’re an influencer?

Influencing insecurity America,

Posting your fulfilling life,

Yet you’re so unfulfilled America,

Pills to fit in you abuse,

To study for degrees you won’t use,

Bullying people off the edge, what’s your excuse,

And you don’t call that murder America?

Starting wars to fill your pockets with a grin,

But do you win?

Yet so worried about “sin”,

Setting up a system that fails your children,

Sitting back as they crack, America,

Pumping your lips,

Changing your hips,

Medication that keeps the nation sick,

You’re feeding your children poison America,

Keeping the gap between classes,

Building nothing but rage,

Promoting hate,

Polarizing the population,

Nurturing ignorance, sealing your fate,

It’s never too late America…

What happened to decency and love,

Who’s the real third world country now? Read above.
