Poem Title:
Poem
“WELCOME New inductees, To the great American Society Where dreams like sirens Beckon, But the distance before such dreams are reached Increases with each step you achieve. The land where meeting opportunities Depends on mobility, But beware of people in your passenger seat Our air bags cause injuries, And our auto companies Will deny any direct responsibility. Life here is a routine day in day out Maneuvered through by most sleepily And all lives carry a dollar amount, Set by a millionaire’s Congress whose skill is stupidity, While you live hand to mouth. But here you’ll drive beautiful scenic views Beautiful people to meet But don’t be fooled, Many believe God speaks through the T.V. And protect and serve applies to minorities. Here your youths Will struggle to get through less than new schools While you pray they make it home each day safely, Then with their Master’s degree they can work fast food Or retire from the city with a gold watch after twenty. Here products are designed with life limits, Repeat business is how they justify it, Then sold for as much as business can get, Because courts say second rate is just good business. But don’t be dismayed This is an amazing place Of Hollywood screen parts Snake oil, fake body parts, Magical face creams, and cash until payday. Plenty of people here will give of themselves, Just remember to watch your health As you try to make something of yourself, Welcome”.
