America
**** your McDonald's drive-thrus
**** your ninety-nine cent ******** hamburger, taco, pizza, salad, milkshake, hotdog, cheese, chicken and ice cream.
**** your ever-penetrating, all-enveloping television stare
-looking into every home and obscenely tucking children into bed with your poisonous, dangerous nonsense
**** your deadly highways and metal death machines
**** your educational system which affords no opportunity and disgraces the intelligent by basing self-worth on imaginary symbols
**** your restriction of information and for appointing one man to represent anybody but himself
**** you for breeding such similar beings
**** your twisted hatred of change & for arresting children while cadavers dry-hump the so-called american dream
**** you for losing your own soul & destroying us daily
**** you for putting faces on beauty and giving such loud voices to hypnotic fantasy
**** your favorite sons and daughters
**** you for the wars which can never be won
**** you for advertising Jack Daniels on the freeway
**** you for a pack of cigarettes - seven dollars and fifty cents
**** you for making my **** hard
**** you for not looking at the stars every night
**** you because I am poisoned by paper
**** you for the starvation of spirit & pills handed out to numb the broken minds you've made & the shattered ones you avoid
**** you for the homeless prophets
**** your speech decree & for rubbing freedom in the faces of the dying
**** your holy stars & stripes
**** your hushed genocide and & torture
**** your phantom masses and empty religions
**** you for providing no wholesome evenings in my rotten town
**** your signposts and support beams
You are but a word
