We meddle and blame the seed for being buried in the ground. We built bridges! roads! schools! abroad all the while we allow our own to ground to dust. We spent billions on bombs we drop on weddings on the other side of the world. All this, while allowing 1/6 of our kids to be "food-insecure" whatever the **** that means. Our courts are less justice and more criminal. Our politicians base success on 're-electability' not how they've improved our lives. Our happiness is collateral-gain. We tread on poverty while rejoicing among the virtues of the rich. The most basic humanities are reduced to tired pawns in the minds of millions and we are the American dream.

Why aren't you laughing
We meddle and blame the seed for being buried in the ground. We built bridges! roads! schools! abroad all the while we allow our own to ground to dust. We spent billions on bombs we drop on weddings on the other side of the world. All this, while allowing 1/6 of our kids to be "food-insecure" whatever the **** that means. Our courts are less justice and more criminal. Our politicians base success on 're-electability' not how they've improved our lives. Our happiness is collateral-gain. We tread on poverty while rejoicing among the virtues of the rich. The most basic humanities are reduced to tired pawns in the minds of millions and we are the American dream.
