    I come from



    The weirdoes live in T.V. land,
    Watching reruns all day.
    Microwaving their frozen dinners,
    They sit and they eat.
    Little Debbies fill the children with fake saturated smiles,
    Name brands fill the easily bought souls.
    The media exploits and controls the land.
    Wishing on stars,
    For dreams do come true here.
    Girls want to be on the silver screen,
    Boys crave the limelight.
    You can be anything you want in this place,
    No one needs to justify their reasoning.
    Mass lies cover the distant truth,
    Equal opportunities for all.
    Or so they say,
    I come from the great proud land of the U.S.A.

    what great powers of observation you have...even political.Yet only obseving, not judging or rabid.

    A little stab here and there, but you're still a part of it as well. We all are. I like rocking the boat, especially when the only liferaft is a canoe. 10 from me.

    Great insight.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
