Narcissistic America
They abuse us in
many forms with intent
to strip us of dignity then
snatch away our lives
They return with red and
blue apologies they
watered with white lies
Cohorting us into accepting them
as the prickly thorns once
again draws blood
We sit and expect them to change
They never do
The mistreatment never ceases
No accountability taken
for any wrongdoing
Once we face the fact
America is the biggest narcissist
we'll stop waiting quietly for change
and fight back to ferociously take it
Sink our teeth in their jugulars
and repossess the power
taken from our ancestors
by their narcissistic forefathers
