Something rotten in Amerika Something corrupt and foul Something stinks in Amerika Something worth your howl Something lost in Amerika Something that was proud Something stoopid in Amerika Something dumb and loud Something mad in Amerika Something crass and vain Something pathetic in Amerika Something without a brain Something corrupt in Amerika Something that's fraud and greed Something crashed in Amerika Something to make hearts bleed (for Worldcon) |

This would sound good backed by an acoustic guitar. Though my only complaint is "something" is very vague. Especially when it's used throughout the poem -- seeming to change definitions with each verse as suits the writer's needs, rather than the writer suiting the word's needs. Otherwise though, a nice little piece of protest. These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |
