[bodytext] => Come on y‘all get into line Everythin‘s gonna be just fine For Mom, Apple Pie and Holy God I swear it‘s not a firin' squad... You can leave your brain right at the door I swear you won‘t need that any more Forget your conscience you don‘t need it Why worry? Consume it and greed it! Don‘t concern yourself 'bout all that killin‘ Just stuff your face when you‘re willin‘ Don‘t think! Just eat! Forget the real and your mind's defeat Get back to the trough And off the streets Hang real happy off MacDonald‘s teats Forget the gap between What IS and what MIGHT be Just lose yourself In this U.S. fantasy Livin‘ fat off the land Drinkin‘ beer and livin' religious But don‘t ask me to love my neighbour What‘s mine won‘t be his! We want it all We are arrogant enough To eat up the world Anyways... what‘s it worth? I‘ll tell you a hundred times How we are the best We‘re certainly fatter than the rest! Whatever you have We have it much bigger Yeah, we can SAY that Though never BEEN there We tell each other Day on day There is nothing better than the American way We don‘t even consider... We know nothing else... We just know what we know … more or less And if you call that ignorance Then I guess that‘s so I‘m sorry I can‘t help that It‘s just something I „know“ I‘m in this belief bubble Don‘t see through my eyes I believe what I like And like to fantasise You know they talk of this „Land of the Free“ But so many lies just confirm The brainwash of me It‘s more comfortable to believe I‘m top, I‘m strong, I‘m best It‘s so reassuring to believe We‘re superior to the rest It‘s not that I refuse to care It‘s just I‘ve nothing to compare All my friends think same as me And if they don‘t it's anarchy I can‘t see the alternative to all this It‘s just our way of living I‘m truly sorry if it comes to you Don‘t start eating or stop giving Don‘t grow arrogant and stupid like us Don‘t hate thought or grow fat Don‘t honour brainless braggarts Your life needn‘t BE like that Don‘t watch our moronic TV Don‘t believe the latest shock hype Don‘t reinforce your ignorance Wonder has MORE than one type Although we see ourselves as Lord God‘s supreme Please forgive us our ignorance Your nightmare. Our dream .

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. ©
