Amerika!

Tawdry jackass culture
Spoilt [edit] princess
Forever preening herself
in some cracked mirror
'How wonderful I am!'
But she stinks like a sewer

A self-obsessed tyrant
Deluding herself
she's awful sweet
In love with herself
Comparing herself
to a sea full of sleaze

A religious freakshow
of deluded ranters
Willing to kill
in the name of God
Singing in raptures
The holy thought
of themselves

Slime encrusted
and reeking of ignorance
Painfully oblivious
of unwarrented
arrogance

Blinded to beauty
Scared of reality
So lost in vanity
So deep in hypocrisy
She sees only an image
of sweetness and light

Your vanity craves only
ever more lying
Wake up and cease
your endless preening
While basking in self-praise
our whole world is dying

Your hand is ugly
Your brain is dead
Your lips only lie
Your eyes filled with greed
Your face is a falseness
Your ego just endless

A narcissitic nation
of endless corruption
What name do we call her?

That sad seed of corruption
That purveyor of porn
That killer of reason
That mindless poseur
That ignorant [edit]-queen
and pathetic princess

A narcissitic nation
of endless corruption

What name of shame shall we call her?

Amerika!

Breathtaking, Absolutely 100% BREATHTAKING!
Wonderful, spectacular write! I actually had to read this twice, it was so good!  The title of this poem is what caught my eye.  Your words are SO TRUE and you put them together so well. And what a wonderful title, sounds like our world alright! Terrific write!  Just wonderful.

Allan, I've edited out your swear words, as they go against our guidelines...if anything comes up asterixed it's a good indication it might be edited..

thanks

Wait a second! You edit out swear words on this forum?? Hmmm, what if it was posted in the Adult chat? Are swear words against the guidelines there as well?

Fantastic Poem, Allan! If only there were more people with your perceptiveness!

Then I'm afraid I must leave this forum. I cannot remain with a site which is scared of little bad language.

Bye, it was nice knowing you people. For a brief time. Take care and be happy.
