We are not America

The idea for this poem came from the rage that has settled inside me from last friday when i came home from school and learned that some one broke into my house and stole my iPod among other things.

Ladies and Gentlemen i bid you welcome

To America !

This Land Of The Free!

Our Land of Prosperity 

or so you Believed because 

Last time i checked theres a Gun at your Back !

Ladies and Gentlemen I Congratulate you 

Welcome To The Land of the Drugs

Where our kids are Raised to Be Thugs

Welcome to this land of Liars and Thieves

Our Doors Are Locked Nobody's Home 

Come on in Take What You Want 

Its what We are Taught to Do

So Why Don't you

Take A seat good Sir! 

Would You like A pistol With that Wallet!

No ! Then how about A Bullet In your Head !! 

You Can't Feed Your Children With Lead!  

Your Blood Turns the Streets Red! 

You Cant even Sleep in your Bed Without

Hearing Sirens That Light Up the Night!

This Land Filled With Violence !

Congratulations We Are NOT! America!!

Sadly true. :/ This county is going down the tubes, and honestly? A lot of the adults don't care. THEY won't have to deal with most of the debt, and all the corrupt politicians in power? Everything's going to be just fine for them... We need to get America back on track, or we WILL face the consequences. This world needs a great big dose of real, honest love and a whole lot of hard work. Happiness is The American Dream, and people have to work for it or it's nothing. Excellent and very expressive poem.

Very true and sad. Glad to know your on the right side of the fence witnessing the tragedies sweep the populations away. America was planted on violence beginning with the genocide of Indians. Hatred is rampant, but Love will overcome.

This is so expressive. I can feel the rage. And there is so much truth
to want you say! I love America so much. Lets take her back from the druggies and users. From all those who wish to harm her and create such an uncaring society.
Fine writing, Chris!
