American Twilight



American Twilight


Here in America
land of the free


we do so love

our assault guns
our hard core porn
and hyper sports

Here in America
land of liberty 

we love to pray

preferably
Christianity

Here in America
land of diversity

cultural melting pot

preferably
white males

Here in America
land of democracy

we talk loud
act proud


cowboy nation

world policeman

we will make
our traditions
your traditions

cause we know
what you need 

Here in America
land of yesterday

tired superpower

who has seen
better days

    1. I so so hope you are right Vanessa, though I fear we are rapidly approaching the point where not even great people can stop the slide

  2. America seems, at times, bogged down in a past that they refuse to shake off...

    1. When things get rough and complicated tis human nature to reflect back and seek comfort in simpler times.. Can be a very dangerous denial
