U.S.A! U.S.A!

Why cooperate?
There’s so much not operating.
Everyone is just masturbating
Wasting away,
Never creating.
Deliberately debating,
Purposelessly stalling as solutions keep fading.

So, why abide?
Always taking shit in stride
While gobbling up every single lie.
Enough's enough,
But not from the higher-ups.
The one pretending to give a fuck,
While overly content we are all so stuck.

“The people must fight”
Yeah, sure! That’ll turn out alright!
Let's also sing the national anthem
And remember that starry night!

You know, the one a poet wrote?
It was so us rubes could patriotically gloat!
America the greatest,
So jump on a boat!

Oh… The jaw bridge is up?
And there are alligators in the moat?
Sorry, I forgot those…
But don't give up hope!
Maybe one day the land of the free
Can be the place you call home!
Just not right now,
So… see yah later!

I'm sure you have a place to go,
So what if it happens to be a warzone!

Mainly post poetry. Tends to lean towards the depressing side. Occasional attempts imploring my gallows humor. Likely an undiagnostic nihilists…
