UnAmerican
Sad, But True

I hope our next leader can keep us afloat
I love to complain although I never vote
We say that we’re leaving if so-and-so wins
Yes, lying is clearly just PART of our sins
We keep picking leaders who NEVER would serve
Who get us in wars that our troops don’t deserve
We’re driving big trucks without nothing to haul
Ain’t willing to work but we still want it all
We love giant vehicles, give us that mass
And still we insist they do better on gas
I’m easily offended when you disagree
The truth is offensive to people like me
I reject what I am and I am what I say
So now I insist you address me as “They”
Despite there’s no hell, how conveniently odd
I believe in a heaven, just not in a God

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
