America I've gone dry

Penny Pinchers and Politicians

Coffee Two Dollars plus a cup

The homeless Veteran, a fifth of Mad Dog

America You've gone to shit

I'm Thirty-Six and High

I blame You America

You make Me pay for alcohol

Yet I cannot drink it outside

I pay for my tobacco

Yet I cannot smoke it inside

America You have failed me

Again and Again You

You are a neverending Letdown

I read and study hard for You

But I still cannot afford to attend my School Of Choice

I work full time to survive

Yet Petrol is close to half my hourly wage

I am told I need a calculator

Yet I can add the numbers mentally

America You Disgust me

Your pointless Wars and computers

Forgotten Poet lingo/language/speaking

Fidel left in right field

I Loathe You America

I pay my taxes

Yet I get no refund

I dropped the soap alone

Yet i feel you behind me

You corrupted me America

Perverted Priests with Vices of Lust

My right to eat meat on Fridays

You make me laugh, America

I don't belong here in your womb

Yet the Umbilical Cord is still tight

I do not like You

Yet i wake up in/next/around You

You won't let me download movies

music, programs, documents

But I do

I cannot speak my mind of You/God/President

But I do

You're unjust, You're non-existant, You're an idiot

What do You plan to do about That?

The Natives were herded like Sheep

Remember The Holocaust?

Senator McCarthy, Lee Harvey?

Gein, Dahmer, Bundy, Gacy?

Manson Manson Manson?

Gates, Walton, Branson?

Greedy Money Hungry Swine

Your Deciples make me wretch

America You are not mine

Due to the fact that You

America Punish MeEveryday

I do not live elsewhere

That's why I am still here

America The Dominatrix
