Poem
Our country is turning to . And not like a pretty that your pet cat hid pretty well in his litter box No. A Big Fat Obvious Odorous Cow , The kind you can smell driving up the gravel road almost a mile away and think “Hm, must be coming up on a farm because that’s some right there.” My favorite game show is “Whose life is the Worst?” Starring every white teenage girl who lives in a neighborhood Named something like “Shady Oaks” or “Pleasant Trees” Winner gets a look of pity and bragging rights. Runner up gets a shirt that says “I was born White and all I got was this lousy Bill of Rights” Our 1st world problems are serious I made a Facebook status about the Hurricanes And not to brag but it got 115 likes. I’m helping the immigrants on their road from pain to sorrow, I share all the “please share” posts One like equals one prayer I donated an old teddy bear to the Salvation Army Because I care about humanity. Pure irony cannot justify the countless deaths we have watched, Tweeted, Posted, And Then voted for. We voted for that Pretentious privileged president Who wants to make a dying country great again. We stopped being great when we became a nation that turns away nations. We are connected as a nation As a great melting pot filled with a delicious stew That will only accept peas And turn away the carrots and potatoes and beef Because we don’t want to ruin this recipe Let’s make Beef Stew Great Again Except this beef stew has turned into a Campbell’s chicken noodle soup The noodles are shaped into stars So we forget that we aren’t feeding nutrients to our children We are feeding them pretty little lies and hearty hatred That they will then feed their children. “But hey! We watched Fox News last night! We know that children are starving in Africa!” If you know that Then why do you continue to sit on your couch Eating your soup instead of offering them any? I’ve had my fill Haven’t you?
