Pledge of allegiance


America!
with t.v. dinners
to save the day
once provided
home-cooked meals
screwing
the poor
while feeding
the rich
nothing seems
to matter

arming up their arms
shooting and killing
the ones they truly love
and don't
being the world's police force
with tendencies
to fuck up

as children cry over
spilt milk
and mothers cry over
their lost loves
nothing seems
to matter

America!
they shoot
land of the proud
and free
America!
more like
land of the ashamed
and dying.
