America For Sale
watching the news
sickens me
seeing all that
there is to see
war, peace
the issue alludes me
so complicated
the design of man
looking for a stand
but taking from every man
how can you trust
any of them?
the agenda
is twisted
the self inflicted
gifted few
that spin
their words
to me and you
we don't have
a clue
of what we want
or what to do
about it
so we focus on
what's new
with Britney and 50
a filthy little habit
watching the world
going down
the You tubes
war, peace
yes I would like
my slice please
or all hells
gonna break loose
the abuse of
our leaders
herding cattle
a battle for the truth
maybe the war
we will never win
under the guise
of a country to defend
what?
capitalism at its best

Fantastic. The end absolutely slays, and golden rhythms abound.
"Going down
the You tubes"
This bit is classic. Also, the mention of Britney and 50 is a great stab at celebrity obsession.
I love the staccato of the line breaks, too. This is just phenomenal work, M. We're on the same page. Thanks for writing. |

Really praiseworthy, it touched my feelings , the upper part touched the present situation of our country as well. Though buddha was born here his blessings could preech the people enough that htey were to .
Your words are focussed on peace . I hope you can write more on ... Though the poem is quite long it has been able to sweeten itself. Hope your poems can command of the world.
