Dumb Americans

Dumb Americans

A Poem by Christopher Staab
"

Not my finest, a little choppy, feedback welcomed.

"
Life isn't made up like 
a basket a neighbor 
packed for me.

All the apples and oranges
dont always get along
so sometimes the government
thinks its ok to pick
some bad ones
and good ones
and pile them
up seperately
in one big Salamender scheme
so the fat cats
down in their little office
can feel like a big shot.

I surely hope I am wrong,

I hope they actually do believe
in some of the same things I do
but I guess I will never know
because there just isnt
that personal recognition
taken by those men and women
who are willing to take
the time to come out
and talk about issues
face to face,

so maybe.....

just maybe....

we are dumb Americans........
