[bodytext] => There are myths told daily Shouldn’t we call them lies? These self-serving myths Shield you from our cries “America does only selfless good!” “America means so well!” “We don’t do it for us! It’s for you! Can’t you tell?” “Our politicians are saints They are doing of their best There’s nothing in it for them They’re better than the rest...” “We only want to bring a benefit the way wonderful America runs But not prostitution, corruption or mafia And not the sleaze, the drugs or guns No, not paedophile priests or casinos Not militias or the KKK Not health care only for the rich Not cults or killers in any way Just all the other stuff to make you fat as any cow We’ll fill your head with product And shallow TV chow You can choke your skies with smog And join our big fat rat race Bigger is better in every way Learn how to feed your face Destroy the world like WE do Consume it’s every treasure Then we’ll have made you “happy” You can die then..., at your leisure But we only do it for your good Can’t you see we’re really pure? We can really change YOUR ways 'cause America has the 'CURE'! :? O/ (U.S. fantasy and myth, corruption and ugly sleaze contain such self-deception & arrogance Tol bring our world to its knees) [comments] => 4 [counter] => 297 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
